More stock photos

The other week in class, I wanted to offer my stock photo find but couldn't remember the name. 123RF has become my friend when istock doesn't have what I need. Some of the other places--shutterstock is the only one coming to mind right now--have overlap with istock. Haven't run into that as much with 123rf.

  • Their smallest credit package is $15 for 15 credits. You get more credits for your dollar if you buy more at a time.
  • From what I've seen, the photos are consistently 'priced' with credits. All print quality photos cost 2 credits. I think istock charges more for certain photos.
  • Also has lightboxes, zooms photos on the thumbnail screen, and allows you to add a photo to your lightbox from the thumbnail screen. Nice if you want to flick through a bunch quickly and later come back to study a smaller group of photos.
Another option if people are looking for something different.
