Niche Photography

Photoeverywhere.co.uk: Images are geographic specific and free and easy to download; the photographer asks for a link as credit.

BigFoto.com: Images based on locations around the world. They ask for a link back in return and that's it. I'd suggest the images aren't always as sharp as I'd hope, but their is great breadth in the countries and local people on offer.

FromOldBooks.org: Excellent resource for vintage images scanned from old story books. Produced before copyright laws became a hindrance, they're free to all to use!

Animalphotos.info: Images of animals, catagorized like a directory, all under Creative Commons. After looking at macaques, tuffed ducks, and red shovelers, I can say the image quality is outstanding.

CarPictures.cc: Lots of pictures of cars that fall under Creative Commons. The quality of the images is quite good.

Openclipart.org: Gorgeous clip art for unlimited commercial use, all royalty free.

Clker.com: Free clip art available for commercial use. Don't get hung up on the retro Web design, this site has a lot on offer.

Flickr Search Engines

JohnJohnston.info: Notably simple, pulling from Flickr. The site ensures all images also feature the simple embed code, complete with attribution link.

CompFight.com: A search engine which can filter for only CC images on Flickr, as well as separately showing some paid for Shutterstock images.

Search.CreativeCommons.org: A great place to search for creative commons images across Flickr, Pixabay, Google Images, and Open Clip Art Library. While you can only do a search through one CC supplier at a time, it's a great starting point.

Photopin.com: Created to help bloggers easily and corrrectly attribute photos, Photo Pin offers one of the more seamless user experiences on this list. Be sure to select the "commercial" tick box to search for CC images. (However, at the end of the day they are just another site utilizing Flickr's API to present photos in an alternative view.)

Alternative Image Websites with Images to Mention

The following sites are featured in other posts about "free" images, but they didn't meet my requirements of supplying images at no cost with Creative Commons style permission to use them for commercial use.

PicSearch.com: Many images and some filters for file size and layout, however no clear division for royalty free CC images.

PhotoRogue.com: Can't find the image you've got your heart set on? Request a photographer take your ideal image for you and negotiate whether Creative Commons is applicable directly.

Kozzi.com: Royalty free, on a credit pricing plan.

stock.xchng: Recently bought by Getty, these images are royalty free. Great images and a decent search function. However, the sign-up process requires a home address, which some people may find a bit dodgy.

What does Creative Commons mean?

To most people, Creative Commons is synonymous with free media like photos, sound, and video. However, Creative Commons is actually a non-profit organization based in California, and there are varying levels of freedom associated with media submitted. Check this infographic about how to correctly attribute Creative Commons.

There are two attributions to look out for if you're using images for business needs. These include Non-Commercial (NC) which means not used for business intentions, and No Derivative Works (ND) which permit only the original work to be utilized. To ensure the media you wish to use is not restricted in any way, confirm the license is a CC, which waives all rights of the creator in the public domain.

Another license with limited requirements is CC BY, which means users can edit the work and use it for commercial benefit as long as attribution to the original work is followed. For more info on creative commons, click here.

What does Royalty Free mean?

Royalty free means piece of media is free of copyright and may be used without paying royalty charges or a license fee; however, there may be a one-off payment to obtain the image (this is what I noticed on many sites promoting RF images). Please note that with a royalty-free image the owner still has copyright; they simply grant you a license to use it without paying royalties.

Male lions grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) in length and usually weigh around 330 to 550 pounds (150 to 250 kilograms), while female lions are smaller, growing up to 9 feet (2.7 m) in length and weighing between 265 to 395 pounds (120 to 180 kg), according to the National Zoo. A lion's tail adds another 2 to 3 feet to their length (0.6 to 1 m). Adult lions stand about 3.5 to 4 feet high at their shoulders. (Asiatic lions are slightly smaller than African lions)

Lions' bodies are built for hunting: They are strong and compact, with strong forelimbs and jaws that help them bring down their prey.

Lions mostly eat large animals, such as zebra and wildebeest. They also steal from other predators such as hyenas and leopards. Females are the primary hunters in a pride.

Female lions mate about every two years, giving birth to one to six cubs after a three-and-half-month gestation period. About 60 to 70 percent of cubs die within the first year of their life. Females cooperate in raising a pride's cubs.
