Finding the right image

Hi,

When it comes to design I really struggle to find the right picture for a header or a slider. Sometimes I go to Google Images to look for the pictures, but I know this isn't a good practice and most of the times the images aren't that good either.

On the other hand we have image stocks, like http://www.shutterstock.com/, http://www.gettyimages.com/ etc. But those are really expensive for me, I really can't afford 30$ for a single image.

So I'd like to know if you have any course here explain how to do this research. How to find the right image and where.

Thank you so much,

Luis

Well for photos you can always use a site like http://openphoto.net/, which offers free stock photos.
