Hey! For *how to web scrape images from HTML bs4*, I’d recommend using `BeautifulSoup` with `requests` for simplicity. If you’re dealing with lazy-loaded images, you might need to use `Selenium` or `Playwright` to simulate user interaction.

For relative URLs, `urljoin` is the standard solution. Also, make sure to handle cases where the `src` attribute might be missing or point to a placeholder image.

If you’re scraping a lot of data, consider using a database like SQLite to store the image URLs for later processing.
