I google a lot for my PhD thesis, especially now that I'm filling up the last chapter with some illustrations. Pictures of overpasses, stakeholder meetings, CAD applications, etcetera.
When I'm using photos, I try to give credit to the photographer. At the least I mention the website where I got the photo from. When I can simply find out the photographer, I ask him if it's OK to include the photo.
I got a nice surprise when asking for permission for a photo taken from pagowirense.nl : the photographer send me a high resolution version :-)
Thanks, Jan-Simon! Yep, a nice surprise.
