I was just wondering how to go about getting a copyright on a photograph. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,
Travis

Anything that you create artistically is already covered by copyright law. You can register your work to help PROVE that it is yours should it ever become necessary, but it is not a requirement for copyright law to apply. I would think that the data saved by your camera would be proof enough that you created the work as long as you keep your original file. I don't remember the link off hand, but the government copyright web sight is easy to find with Google.

The simplest way is to add a text layer to the image.
