Hey guys, I'm new to web designing but I'm really good at coming up with great ideas and good templates, I was just wondering how everyone gets really nice pictures. Like where do most designers get their pictures from when they put them as a sample on a site? Because the pictures help make the site look very sharp, and since I have no idea where to get them from I have to stick with brushes, and cheesy renders. Are these pictures stocks that you have to pay for? Or can you get them free somewhere? If Someone knows what I'm talking about these high quality pics post here! Thanks! Also name some sites if you know where to find em!

Generally, the commercial ones are going to be better (I like istockphoto that LadynRed linked to - it's cheap and you get better quality images than most of those free sites).

Links to both free and commercial stock photography sites:
