To celebrate their birthday - and smart new site - Lonely Planet is offering all customers 20% off images until the end of November. Just use this promotional code:  November20 in your shopping cart when you purchase images online, or call your local office for assistance.

Their collection captures the diversity of the world, and now the website boasts new features which make it quick and easy to zoom in and view the world up close.

Now it's easier than ever to find the image you want, with a new search function which lets you filter by location, relevance or date (which means you see the freshest images). You can manage, edit and share lightboxes, and the speedy two-step download function serves up hi-res versions.

To showcase some of the best imagery they have available there is a new collections page highlighting key trends and themes throughout the year.  You can also search by location if there is a particular city or country you were looking for.

With 10 years experience of working with some of the best professional travel photographers in the world, the Lonely Planet Images team will help you find the right image in the right time. 

Shutterstock has announced that it will legally guarantee every file in its library by providing up to $10,000 to cover legal
