Public Domain (PD)

PD stands for Public Domain, a term used for creative images where the copyright has expired. If a photo is in the Public Domain then there are no limits or terms that specify how the photo can be used. Public Domain images are generally not as well shot as stock photos or custom photos but can provide you with what you need.

    I have found many, many sites where the quality of the images equals those of paid sites.. You just need to know where to look..
