I've currently been getting them through http://littlevisuals.co/. Do you guys have any other resources or sites I can look into?

Hadn't heard this jargon before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_image

Is this a new thing?

augustin19892• 12 years ago

Not sure how new it is. I've only recently heard the term last year.

I believe it's part of the naming/code in Bootstrap, so as long as that has been around.

I've been using Fotolia. It's one of the better stock photography sites, and their prices are pretty good if you: a.) Pre-pay for credit b.) Don't need images larger then 1200px X 1200px

The http://www.shutterstock.com/ seems to be fairly popular if you have non-zero budget. Lot of people seem to rip off images from Tublr themes as well. I've seen also lot of torrents on places like Pirate Bay (look for Top 100 section) but you need to make sure it license is free for any usage (lot of providers do look out for people stealing images without license).
