20 Sources of Free Photos and More for Bloggers

Reblogger Roy Kelley
Industry Observer with Retired

As most people already know, taking your own photos is always best if you need a variety of photos for blogging. If you need higher quality photos for your website, you might want to either hire a professional photographer, or spend the money to purchase some high quality photos.

 If I had the time, I could easily put together a list of 100 sources of free photos for bloggers and web designers. But anyone should be able to pick 3 or more favorite sources from this list, or find one of the many other sources of free photos. Notice that google images isn't on this list.

 As most people already know, taking your own photos is always best if you need a variety of photos for blogging. If you need higher quality photos for your website, you might want to either hire a professional photographer, or spend the money to purchase some high quality photos.

 We live in an area of Loudoun county VA where it's easy to create a collection of a wide variety of photos of cityscapes, landscapes, waterscapes, mountain views, historic, farms, barns, buildings, art, animals, sunsets, sunrises, etc, etc.

 Maybe you can find something you like from this list?

Good Thursday morning Roy.  A good choice of re-posting with so many newbies coming on board.  It's always best to take your own photos but when it's not possible make sure to visit one of the above sites.

It is sometimes a good idea to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for current posts.
