Webshots is a photo sharing site with some pretty amazing submissions. Sadly most of the stunning pictures are not avalible for free as they require you to have a pro account. Well not for long! here is a simple way to bypass that step and get any Premium only shot for free.
Let’s take this premium shot as an example:
http://www.webshots.com/g/d2006/2-nw/57756.html
Now change the address above with the one below:
http://p.webshots.com/sym-cache/ProInternalUse/56/57756_poster2000.jpg
Wowzers! it worked! But how?
Well its very simple:
Look at the url of the page that links to the premium image :
http://www.webshots.com/g/d2006/2-nw/57756.html
In this url we need to concentrate on the last numbers we see. Take the 6 digit number and jot it down somewhere (57756).
Next, use this url as a template:
http://p.webshots.com/sym-cache/ProInternalUse/A/B_poster2000.jpg
All you need to do is take the last two digits from the 6 digit number you jotted down and put it in the “A”area in the url above. Then put the full 6 digit number in the “B” area in the url.
That is all! Enjoy the world of premium goodness. (While supplies last)
Works with any Webshots Premium url, try for yourself and leave us a line if it works.

this has mostly worked, except for any url who’s second-to-last digit (of the 5) is zero, for example the picture:
http://www.webshots.com/g/32/51316-sh/74802.html
which is: “Simpson’s Bay, Saint Martin”

I had that problem as well Gio!, but i found the solution by not adding the zero when your supposed to put in the last two numbers in the A section!. Example ProInternalUse/2/74802_poster2000.jpg now it should work.

The link you gave will not work because there is no pro picture to download!.It only has a regular download if you look at the options!.
