When we look for pictures for a new project or simply to complement a posting on our blog, many still have the mistaken belief that everything on the Internet is free and can be used at will. Millions of users use daily the huge directory of images of Google in search of photographs, graphics and images or use the material without respecting the licenses or assign the credit to the author , creator or photographer image. If you do not want to find any day with a complaint for infringement of copyright , the right thing for everyone is to respect the licenses of the photographs and give credit to the authors of them. To avoid this process there are dozens of banks of images that will be pleased to formalize the sale of one of his photographs for our project, but that's not the best solution for the amateur blogger who, lacking financing needs from other sources that find the photos for their publications.
The photos in high definition ( HD ) are highly sought after and if they are free for personal or commercial use further, which is why I created a collection of 25 photographs free web sites for personal and commercial use .
