Question

I have pics from lightning to lizards to a giant sunflower and other blooms in my garden- any clue as to how to copyright them? Hoping not to spend TOOOOO much cash- need to save that for gas....... C"MON November- we need somehing different! Took them with my Casio EXILM. also can I copyright photos (I took) of other people without their permission?

Answer 1

Just put the copyright symbol on the photo and that will give you the ability to sue if someone 'steals' the photo.  To long to explain everything here.  Wikipedia has great explanation

Answer 2

Copyrights last for the lifetime of the person who designed/took the image plus 70 years so if you put the symbol on the photo you are entitled to the rights of that photo no matter what!
