Search Tips :
One method is to search is by image category. Below the search box you will see a number of image categories listed. (Clicking on some of the categories will bring up further sub-categories). "Clicking" on these categories or subcategories will bring up a page (or pages) of thumbnail images. Likewise, you can then "click" on any of the thumbnails to see a larger image with caption details. This is a good way to use the site if you would like to see a selection of "China" images. You may not know exactly what you want yet ... And would like to see a number of images to review. To see more images that share the same keyword, just "click" on any keyword.

Or if you are looking for a particular subject (like an image of a tropical beach) ... You can type the word "beach" into the search box and "click" the Go button. A series of thumbnail images will appear. You can then "click" on any thumbnail image to see a larger image with caption details and keywords. You may then "click" on any of the words in the caption or individual keywords under the image to locate more images in the file that have the same word in their caption or keyword. (Example: You see a cool image of a tropical beach in the Maldives Islands .. And would like to see more images from the Maldives ... "Click" on the word Maldives ... And thumbnail images of various images taken in the Maldives will appear.

If you are looking for a more specific subject (like a skyline of Tampa) ... You could enter both the words Tampa and skyline in the search box and "click" the Go button. A series of thumbnail images of the Tampa skyline will appear. (This limits the search to only the images where both the words Tampa and skyline are in their captions or keywords

When you want to find a very specific subject, choose to search by Phrase and enter Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Only the images that have the exact words "Sunshine Skyway Bridge" together in that order in the caption or keywords will appear.

In most cases you will get better search results using and instead of phrase, unless you are looking for a very specific subject.
There is also a lightbox feature on the web site. When you find an image that you like, just "check" the lightbox button under the image. That image (or images) will be stored in your personal lightbox. Your lightbox will be stored for 90 days on our server. You can review the images in the lightbox ... Or email the lightbox to a friend or co-worker for them to see.
