Searching for Photo's

[Steve84]

Hi everyone,

Although this is my first post, I've been looking at the forums on here on and off for a couple of years now. I've always found it interesting and it has helped me no end to solve problems I've had with AGS. So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all!!

Anyway, I'll get to the point of my post now...
I'm working on a game and I'm making the backgrounds out of photo's. To get these I've mostly used google image search and set it to return large images which I can downsize (my game is 640 x480). I've found some great photo's for my game but now I come to my problem which I would like to ask advice for. For the end of my game I'd like photo's of a secret underground base. Of course sticking 'secret underground base' into the seach engine comes up with nothing useful. I've managed with all the other photo's to rearrange or change the words to find the kind of pictures that I want. I don't know why but I can't seem to think of any particular wording that can find what I'm looking for.

Basically what I'd like is photo's of a clean, sterile appearance of a futuristic kind of 'secret base' kind of rooms (Sorry if this makes no sense, but I'm sure you get the gist as so many adventure games include something like this) This includes a laboratory, a corridor or two, a prison cell, an office and a big entrance hall. Or something along these lines. I've tried seaching alta vista image search and a few other websites but seem to be failing. I've also tried seaching the forums for photo reference information and followed that which helped a bit too. I think where I may be going wrong is finding a particular word that sums up 'futristic/modern secret base rooms' lol. Any suggestions of what other words could help?? Or any sites that have quality room photography?? I'll also point out I'm looking for photo's rather than any computer graphic rooms as these won't keep in the style of the other rooms of course.

Here's couple of links to the kind of things I'm looking for...

If anyone can give me any help or advice on this it would be muchly appreciated. And if I havn't made myself clear on any aspect let me know...

Thanks, Steve

Have you tried looking at old Nuclear shelters, quite a few of the old Cold war ones have opened up to the public as they're not thought to be needed anymore, heres a link to one website

http://www.hackgreen.co.uk/

might be some pictures there, good luck with your game.

Thanks charliechuck,

I've put nuclear, shelter and reactor into image search and found a few pics I really like.

I fell ever so slightly embarassed now because I was determined to do my first post correctly! But now I've noticed it is in the 'Adventure-related talk and chat' room whereas I meant to, and was sure I had (obviously failed!), put it in the 'Beginner's technical questions' room. Is it possible to move my post?

Actually it was moved from the Beginner's forum to here, as this IS the correct forum for this kind of thing
Beginner's Technical Questions are for AGS questions only, not art-related questions.
