good images of skies

[max montana]

hi there, i realised that my library of skies contents only very view noticeable images. most of them i donwloaded from free sites or i made them a view years ago with a shitty 3mb digital cam.

can someone tell me where to get good images of skies(no hdri`s) i need them for doing post in ps. free images would be nice, but i would also pay for good stuff.
thx

I haven't seen the CG Textures site before. Great link!

Along the same lines. If anyone is making their own textures this tool is amazing at creating a tileable image from almost any kind of source photo. With this tool and the healing brush in Photoshop you can make seamlessly tiled maps very quickly.

I probably heard about this tool from this forum, just giving it a bump because it's such a huge timesaver for anyone making textures.

The hyperfocal skies are great. I have the ldri ones and the hdri...both are very good.

www.dreamstime.com has a good selection of inexpensive shots, and some free. Also try istockphoto.com
