I'm Back!!!

       Yes that's right I am back for another whole year of blog posts! Summer is over and i'm now back to the place of torture known as school, but I don't think it will be all that bad (yeah right). We have already been assigned a project which is basically what i'm showing right now. But enough about me, how about I tell you about the project.

       We had to take a subject and find a photo of it on four different free stock photo websites. The subject I chose (if you didn't already look at the pictures) was the horrible and creepy octopus of the land. It can make a silk web to ensnare it's victims. That's right the haunter of nightmares, the Spider!

       The four sites used were morguefile.com, pexels.com, gratisography.com, and unsplash.com. These all had amazing photos but it was a competition and i have cast the votes and chosen winners for the categories.

       The winner for the best photo goes on over to the website of PEXELS!!!! I mean come on, this is a pretty cool picture of a spider. That thing is downright frightening, and not to mention it must be huge. So yeah, here is the winning picture. Although it has some pretty cool pictures; unfortunately it didn't have that many photos so it was kind of sad to know it only offered six pictures and then a link to another website for more pictures.



       And now, the winner for the website with the most photos. A name that automatically makes you think of zombies... MORGUE FILE!!!! This website was pretty good and had variety of photos to choose from. It made it quite fun to see all of them and I would probably choose this site as a go-to site in the future. Plus the pictures there were really cool too.





       The easiest website to download from would have to be (Drums please) GRATISOGRAPHY!!!! This website unfortunately only had one spider photo and the search bar is confusingly on the bottom of the website and it takes you to a search engine. But it was an amazingly quick download which was pretty cool.

Finally the easiest website to search, and last but not least, the only one left... UNSPLASH!!!! Ok ok I know it isn't actually a spider. But it was the only one it had so therefore it is the best! Leave me alone! This website was actually the easiest to use because it had all of it's pictures in a line on the page and the search was actually for the website. Unfortunately it didn't have the pictures I was looking for.




Well there we go, four incredible websites for free photos and now you know my opinions of them.

Until next post,
