It seems like there've been a crop of small sites trying to build in a "public domain stock photography" niche (http://www.pexels.com/ http://www.pexels.com/, https://stocksnap.io/ https://stocksnap.io/, and https://unsplash.com/ https://unsplash.com/ to name a few). I wonder if this will kill them off. :-/
Right now http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons (where I usually head to look for creative commons photos) lists zero public domain images.
- codingdog 12y agoMarc from StockSnap.io here! We honestly couldn't be happier that Flickr is doing this and we'll be sure to add their CC0 photos to our repository.
- mosburger 12y agoI have no idea why it didn't even occur to me that the sharing went both ways - totally makes sense now. :)
- cgimmer 12y agoThe benefit of these niche sites is the high level of quality. With Flickr, you'll need to sift through a lot of not so great photos.
- usaphp 12y ago> I wonder if this will kill them off. Absolutely NOT. Quite the opposite I think. Using Flickr now pexels, stocksnap, unsplash etc.. will be able to cherrypick the best and highest quality photos from thousands useless on flickr. The main reason I am using unslplash.com and other sites is the quality of photos. The other day I tried to use a CC photo from flickr I've spent most of my time just searching for a good quality photo.
