Pixabay.comPixabay.com has over a quarter million public domain images. Pixabay mostly has really pretty stock image type photos in 20 different categories. I find browsing the categories more useful than their search function.

How TechSoup Uses Images (or Tries To) 54 Make sure photos are clear, in focus, and not blurry when displayed at the size you want to use them. Try to show the impact of your organization's work. If you help people, show the people you're helping. If you clean up a park, take before and after pictures of the work you did. Wherever possible, choose natural or unposed images, rather than showing a group of people smiling at the camera. For example, pictures of volunteers working will be more compelling than a smiling group posed for the camera. For event photos, try to show more than the standard "person with a microphone" images. Mix it up. Use group shots, wide shots, and close-ups of attendees.
