There are tons of website online where you can get free photo's from to use and not have to worry about if it's copyrighted or not.

Designers use a number of ways to protect there images and 1 such method is water marketing them.

This help explains it. https://www.watermark-image.com/watermarking.aspx

What people do a lot if they use images they found off of Google is give a linkback to the website where they got it from. If you use a image from Google, right click the image and view properties. You should see the full IMAGE url path and then will know what website this image belongs to. Provide a link to that site and mention that Image used from www.example.com '

This way you protecting yourself that you did give credit to the website where you got it from. But if you get an email saying taking my images down, then you remove them without asking why.

To be safe, you should always give credit. Or if that is inconvenient, contact the creator and get a written confirmation that they waive their right of attribution.

You can look for images on some websites that offer free images. Also, place a line or two in your video or description asking the image owner to contact you for removal in case you are violating someone's copyright. This show good will.

In google image search there is a "more" tab in just below the search box by clicking on that you can filter the photos which don't haves copyright.

When searching Google for images that are creative commons or on public domains, here are the steps you need to take:
1st, type the name of the picture you want in the search bar (blue bird for instance)
2nd, click on “Images”
3rd, click on “Search Tools”
4th, Click on “Usage rights”
5th, and finally “Labeled for Reuse”.
All of the results are either on public domains or published under Creative Commons License

On google image search you can specifically search for images that allow reuse.
Here's an example searching for cats. Notice the selected option "Labeled for reuse with modification"

Add this query string to your searches on google:
search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=cats&tbs=sur:fmc

head to google images -> enter your keywords -> click on search tools -> click on usage rights -> labeled for non-commercial reuse with modification.
Those images have no copyright . Also use can any images to to the google image search bar to see whether those images are crawled by any websites or not.

I just would like to make a videos which contains all my contry photos but I'm sure that I will be banned by youtube or not

I dont think so , youtube will ban you just by making video by pictures, usually Youtube algorithm matches visual and audio content with other copyright licensed content

Righlty said @gopcsoft. What more you could do is - use some free pics sites like pixabay or any other. Those sites have lots of images which do not need any credit back to the owner and there would not be any copyright infringement issue.
