Default Need random images

Hi,

I was wondering where I could find about 5000 random images for free? I am doing a college test on a piece of software and I need a random set of images to play with..

I don't suppose you know of anywhere that I can get some ?

Sorry for the strange question haha

There's a few free stock image sites out there. Just type "free stock images" into Google and they shall appear before you.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I forgot to add that is there anything with mass download?

The ones I have been to all are single images to download and it would take too long to do that.

Is the content of the images important? If this is a software project and the content of the image doesn't matter... then you could create a bunch of images using some utilities...

Linux.com :: ImageMagick: A graphics wizard for the command line

Text2PNG Converts Text to PNG with ********** | Web Resources | WebAppers

Just write a quick script to take one image and use a loop to add text to each copy with the value of the counter as the text...

quick and easy ... let the computer do the work

Depending on what you're doing. I have a few hundred thousand images.

I may be cheap, but I'm not free though ;_)

Really depends on what you're doing. Drop me a note if you like. Mayhaps the software is something I'd be interested in.
