The Best Sites for Stock Images

     Images are a big component for creating a solid website.  Pictures make the website more interesting which draws more attention to the website.  Getting these pictures can be somewhat challenging due to copyright laws and trademarks.  Stock images are free images that anyone can use.  In this post I will go over four sites that offer stock images on Africa.  This is what I found for each website I used.

     All of the pictures came out to be nice and crisp from all of the websites.  My favourite picture came from Unsplash.  The lion looks really cool in the tree and the branches are at the 1/3rd mark on each side.  I found the most photos on morgefile.  There were pages upon pages of photos you can choose from and there were a wide selection of topics.  There wasn't a standout website that was the best to navigate, all of them were fairly simple to find what you needed.
