Default Best source of photos for blog

Where would be the best place to buy a selection of photos on a few different subjects, in order to make a blog look more interesting? As the photos are going to be quite small, and may only be used a few times each, I really don't want to have to pay much for each one.

Have a look at any news story on the BBC website, and there will be at least one small photo in the text. That is the sort of thing I am after.

Thanks in advance.

You can get free photos from

and you can get cheap (a few pounds each) photos from
http://www.istockphoto.com/

Thanks Rob.

We had been using istock or bigstock photo, but for some of our photos we need I may now look at one of the free ones.

I use sxc dot hu for free images, but I use 123rf dot com for really cheap ones (excellent quality).

Can some confirm if these free pictures can be used on 'business website'?

Is there copyright issue?

Read the terms and conditions on the relevant site. With http://sxc.hu/ some images you need to contact the photographer first, others you don't. You can use them for most business purposes.

Morgue file is a great resource which I often use and also fotolia. Fotolia's images are very reasonable about 50p a time so well worth it if you are looking for something of a high quality.

Be careful with google images, I don't think they are free to use.
