Just came across an interesting royalty free stock photo gallery.

www.absolutvision.com

Costs $99 per year for full membership. Worth every penny.
Suitable for large format and litho.
You could download nice, free large format images every month if you register as well!
And the site seems to be growing each week with new images!

Hi Eric,

Welcome to the forums. I hope that you enjoy your visits here.

Your post sounds a little like an advertisment for the site you mention.

I suspect that you're just sharing information about them. I hope that you'll stick around and tell us a little about your efforts on the web.

Good to have you here.

Are there specific websites that provide images for use on websites, not super high-res 600x800 images?

This is bit overdue but, I just have to say....Awesome List!

I started using http://www.sxc.hu/ ever since I found your listing...and have even started to upload photographs, I think I might be getting addicted to photography again since I now keep my camera in my truck now!!! lol

if you want to take a peak....you can search for my user name mgerardi on that site.

Thanks again for providing that list!

What an excellent photo resource post this is turning into!

I only really use stock photos for photoshop battles, morguefile and sxc.hu are the sites I use the most mainly because they are free for non profit work, some of the images on sxc are just amazing well worth a look round. I'm glad we introduced you to it and I'm glad you are back in to photography. When I get a bit more time i will have a good look at your work marc, stuck for time at the moment.

If anyone else has some good stock photo sites, please add them below

thanks

I have been using http://www.matton.com for a while now. They have a great selection of Business, Christmas, Fitness, Sports, and Travel pictures (over 600,000 in total). Their pictures vary in price depending on resolution.

[Black_Phoenix]

I have made this a sticky as its a great resource of stock photo sites, feel free to add any other that are not listed here. Also a big thanks to everyone who has shared their favourite stock photo sites with us so far.

Cheap Annual Membership, but not really impressive collection - www.photospin.com

I lost my bookmarks, had like a 100 free stock images websites in there.

[Brandon_Cstone]

I'm mostly interested in free, so here's what I have:
Adobe Stock Photos - Great to use with Adobe Bridge
Microsoft Office - fairly decent
THE best in free
Freebie list, with lots more than just free images!
