Stock Images?

[owen1818]

I was wondering if anyone knows of sites with stock images (images used for the backgrounds of banners) I found a site (www.surrealdesignz.com) but the stock images take forever to load up and it slows down my computer and everything goes weird and crazy.

I know I could use google and other search engines but they are too wide spread and if the images are all placed together then it saves me time and energy.

I've really taken a liking to making banners and so forth so having a nice veriety of stock photos to use would be amazingly sweet!

Jin what type of stock images are you looking for? There are a huge number of sites that have stock images but many have a main focus on a certain type.

Well I would say scenery type ones. Such as train stations, sunsets, clouds, busy street that sort of thing.

But if you could reccomend any other sites then that would be great

Thanks a lot, I did actually come across the second one and was awaiting my activation email.
But the first one is very good too.

Thanks again

Jin, also, if you look at the top of here at ocgfx, there is a link called gfx links. There is a bunch of photostock links there that might work for you as well.
