I just joined the other day and I've started to put together some Hubs. Thing is, they look a little sparse without any pictures. Where is the best place to find pics that I can add to my Hubs without violating any legal or unwritted rules?
Hi Mickelarr,
A great website that I've discovered is for photos is:
http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/
I've just started out too but have already used them in several of my posts. They've got some pretty good photos.
Welcome to HubPages.
I use the Creative Commons search and check mark use for commercial purposes because my hubs have ads on them: http://search.creativecommons.org/
From here, you can specify Flickr or other sites and hone in on images that are available to use on a commercial page. Check the rights for the size of the image you want to download -- sometimes not all sizes are available under Creative Commons.
--Wikimedia Commons
--Flickr with the Advanced Search set to "Creative Commons / Commercial Use Only" (be sure to give credit and a link back)
--Stock Xchng (some photographers there ask you for credit and a link plus notification...there's a small comment box where you can notify them)
-- Clker.com for clip art
-- Morguefile
-- NASA, NOAA, USGS (images on U.S. government websites are usually considered public domain UNLESS otherwise specified on the page -- check terms of use to be sure)

is it necessary to cite the origin of your photos if you downloaded them from somewhere? and is it necessary to copyright or somehow mark photos posted that you yourself has taken? thank you in advance for any input.

I see Hubs where beautiful photos are used and are from Pinterest. The photos are usually credited as being from Pins. Are we allowed to use those photos??

I used an image from Flickr that was under creative commons, labeled for noncommercial use. I guess I thought hubs were noncommercial if they didn't sell products. Anyway, the photographer contacted me and demanded $500. I immediately removed the photo and contacted him to tell him it had been...

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!
