I am new, and don't know where to get photo's for my hubs. I only know about freedigitalphotos.net and my own photos that I have taken myself. I see people posting pictures of companies and famous people. Where can I get common pictures without getting in trouble for posting them, due to copyright or permission dilemmas?
Please search the forums, there are dozen of threads on this topic that can help you.
This hub by Marisa Wright may help: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Use-Flic … -Your-Hubs
Ther has been many times when I just contacted a company with a product picture I wanted to use and asked them for their permission to use certain photos, as long as I say the photo is "courtesy of" who ever I needed to get it from. I have never had anyone turn me down yet. This is an excellent question and will probably help others as well. Great Job.
From your camera is safest way, then you don't infringe any copyrights.
Learn how to take pictures, and write hubs about doing it at the same time...
Taking your own can be fun but certainly I have used http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/ before.
If you want to upload I understand there are some revenue opportunities but haven't done so myself...

Are you comfortable with posting photos of your children and family in your hubs? I am asking...because I believe it is too personal for me to share with the world.

Does posting your hubs on social bookmarking sites like Reddit really help your hub traffic?Just wondering if it's worth the time to repost my hubs on sites like this. Please provide numerical figures for reference if you have them.

Where is a good place to get legal clip art images to use in hubs?I've seen some really cute, cool clip art images in hubs? Where's a good site to look for ones we can use? There are times when clip art is more appropriate in a hub than are actual photos. Thanks!

Hi folksAre there any websites where I can get free photos or pics. I will naturally give credit to the owner of the photo. I tried MorgueFile, its too cumbersome, or am not navigating the site correctly.Thanks

Do you use your own pictures in hubs?Do you use photos of yourself, your family, your friends, or anything else from your personal life? Or do you search the internet for pictures that match the subject you are writing about?What is your reasoning behind your decision?
