You may already know that images can purchased at rock bottom prices from the various microstock sites but did you know that many of them offer completely free images to download and use under their royalty free licence?

Try the offerings from the following sites. You may have to sign up to the site to get access to the images but that’s free as well and they change them for new ones on a regular basis.

Dreamstime - Not just one free image but well…. lots of them. Just click on the ‘Free Images’ tab at the top of the page. The quality is variable however so you may have to look through a few.

Fotolia - 10 free images at any given time are available and these seem to change on at least a daily basis.

So there are a few to be getting on with.
