BP Stock Images

[PastelPython]

Does anyone know of any sites that have free stock images of ball pythons and different morphs? I know of flickr.com but I can't seem to find any others.

The pictures you find on flickr are not free you have to pay to use them if you do not you are simply infringing the owner's copyrights

Simply google "free stock photos" it should allow you to find so royalty free pictures doubtful that you will find BP morphs though.

i may not be 100% on this but im pretty sure that if your using them for personal reference only, and not posting them on any other websites and stuff like that, its pretty much fine. same thing with dvd's, you can burn a copy to have an extra one or to GIVE to someone, but you cant sell it or claim that its yours. i just right click and "save picture as", but its purely for personal reference, and they will never be posted anywhere else

No that is not legal at least where I am. They are for viewing not for distribution or downloading. It is the same as going into an art gallery and taking photos of the work on the walls.

yeah i guess so, ive never looked at it like that, i guess i just always thought of it as, "well, its on the internet and its giving me the option to save it so, i guess its fine"

fair enough I work as a professional photographer and am a bit touchy about it. I personally don't mind as reference images and am fine with local storage sharing them on a disk remove from the original context I don't like if they are on my or a clients web site I'd rather a link to that place rather than removed and re distributed I use a copyright notifiers to that effect. no distribution and derivatives.

yeah, i wouldnt put them online or display them or anything. i just have them on an SD card so i can have pictures of morphs, mainly to help teach myself to identify them better
