Contributor Highlights
The purpose of the Stock Images community is to bring the option for using stock images into the Hive community, where we can easily reward and support the creators of these images. Instead of using outside sources you can tag, credit and reward your fellow Hivians for their talented work of art right here on the blockchain.
Contributor Highlights Post!
With the stock image contribution rates being so low right now we have decided to highlight themed images that have been previously provided by our contributors.
We hope these highlights help bring awareness and attention to some useful images that you can use in your blog posts.
Each featured contributor will receive a 10% beneficiary of this curation post!
This week we are highlighting some amazing sea and ocean posts!
Usage Ideas:
• posting about a dream vacation
• poetry
• family time
• nature
• weather
• exploring
Here are this week’s highlight selections…
In this beautiful golden hour beach post you’ll find flowers and shells scattered along the sand. You’ll also see images of the gorgeous sky, sun and refreshing water ripples.
@Lightcaptured left plenty of space for adding text on these seascape images. Amongst them you will find sky, water, sand, boat and land.
In this diving contribution you’ll find above the water images of equipment as well as underwater action.
We hope you find these contributor highlights useful in helping you find stock images for your upcoming posts. Please make sure to read the specific terms of use for each creator that can be found directly in their posts. Let’s support our Hive artists and photographers :)
Don’t forget to check out our Images and Ideas Challenge for the week where you could win some Hive!
Do you want to start contributing to the Hive Stock Index? Please first read About Stock Images.
Are you looking for specific stock images to use? Please view the Stock Images Main index where you can search by alphabetical order genre. This will be updated periodically as more images are added. We also now have a search feature, which is being improved as we go, so please feel free to give feedback on it.
If you use any Hive Stock Images in your post, don't forget to credit the owner and use the tag #freeimageshare, so we can find it and thank you for your support of our image contributors. We particularly love to see contributors supported with a beneficiary or tip, even if they don't ask for one.
We have a discord server for feedback, questions and suggestions.
Many thanks to @sitaru for the Hive bee image we use, @doze for the footer and also @thepeakstudio for the divider. They each will receive beneficiaries along with the contributors highlighted in this post.
Curation today was brought to you by @crosheille.
Thanks so much for the feature and support! :)
I hope Hive community finds some of those images useful :)

@hive-118554! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @lightcaptured. (1/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
You're very welcome! We hope so too! We'd love to see these images being used more frequently.
Thank you for your wonderful contributions ~
Thank you! To be completely honest, I would love to share stock stuff more frequently but I find a bit discouraging that lack of usage, in general :)))
I see hundreds of users on Hive use free stock images sites but they don't prefer to use the stuff we provide "internally" on the platform. I am not sure how that could be changed for good.
I agree with you completely. This is why @minismallholding decided we needed to focus on showcasing what we already have in the index with hopes to bring more awareness of the images. Not sure what else we'll do from this point but we do hope more people catch on to this concept and use in-house photos instead.
Thanks for hanging in here with us. We'll see what's to come :)
Probably I have to drop the requirement to be set as a beneficiary, we all know the most of the people here post for the rewards and they would keep them all for themselves, I get that. Then find some way to support each other in another interesting and motivating way...
I see some communities get tokenized, probably that's a direction to consider? :)

Yes, it's very obvious that most people don't like to share their rewards. At the most they will give credit and source the images which is still good but we'd love to see more of them add contributors as beneficiaries.
Thanks for dropping that idea about the tokens. We’ll be discussing about more options soon.
Pleasure! :)
I'd love to contribute to these discussions, if you think I could be of any help, of course. Just tag me in Discord, too many servers, time is always not enough ;)))
Awesome! Thanks so much for your presence here, you are truly appreciated.
Thank you! :) Have a lovely weekend!
You're welcome! You do the same ;D

I'm currently trying to focus more on seeing what we can do to create awareness of the option to use in house images, but struggling to get much feedback. I don't know if it's lack of awareness that we're here, lack of the kind of images people want or whether it's hard to search for the images to find what they're looking for.
We'll just have to keep plugging away with raising awareness. Katerinaramm gave us some good ideas too, we just need to find your to implement some of them.
Thank you for your time and efforts!
I think a combination of all these and probably more.
Let's not forget the financial part, as I just commented to @crosheille :)
People are used to these free image banks and here we ask them to put more effort and sometime split the rewards with us. Probably we should go into the opposite direction and give every user tokens? I know this would cost a lot of time and resources, I'm just putting that idea on the table :)

Tokens were one of the things Katerina mentioned, but I wasn't sure how we could distribute them or how they could be used. So thank you for an idea on the first part.
Let me share another experience I have with Adobe Stock.
They have that program, running from time to time in the last couple of years, where the contributor submits certain images to be included for "free" downloads. Only a small part of the submitted ones get approved actually but then Adobe pays some in advance, no matter how many downloads.
I think that way they create a certain collection with exquisite quality, available for free to their customers.
So long story short - I guess some tokens could be distributed based on participation in such a high-quality library.
Thank you, that's another good idea. We also need to think of a use case for them on the spending side, otherwise they have no value.
HODLing (or staking, I know it is more expensive) pays in dividends? (similar to what SIM & BRO and probably few other tokens feature)
The most obvious other use case is exchange(burn) tokens for upvote too. I know it is a grey area but several other projects have that feature for years so I guess it is not that bad ;)
Just putting up few quick ideas.
