One way I like, as I dislike captcha images these days, is to add a hidden text box to your form, but don't apply any hidden attributes to it, rather set the background colour and borders to the background colour of the form, and set the font size to 0. That way a spam-bot will fill in the text box with its usual junk, but a user won't be able to see it to enter anything, so if the text-box has content in it, prevent them from proceeding.
