An Idea for large photos

[borisplante]

There are alot of requests on the board for a "photo large enough for an 8X10", 16X20, etc. One thing I have started doing over the years is google searches immediately after significant sports events. You search for large photos on google or select "greater than 2MP" on the search. If you do this within a day or two of the event, you can usually take home a treasure trove of large file lsize pics that typically get locked up on Gettyimages shortly thereafter. For instance, if you do that today and search for the LA kings "within the last 24 hours", you'll get tons of very large filesize photos of the Kings stanley cup win. I try to do that as often as possible with players and shots that I know I will eventually want. It's worked quite well over the years. It seems like if you wait more than a day or two, most of those large file sizes get removed and become impossible to find without Getty access.
