Some beautiful shots there, looks almost as if you have used HDR to bring out the bridge. The colour (brightness of) on the bridge seems very exaggerated, it stands out as a focal point really well. I especially like the penultimate image, the line of symmetry goes right through the middle and looks great! :D

Believe it or not, they are single exposure images with a slight colour cast due to the white balance. The bottom image is probably closest to the colour of the bridge but the background came out better using a warmer WB.

Very nice pics Rob :smt023 I only know how to photograph horses and dogs with the sole purpose of painting a picture from it (did half a city and guilds :lol:) Now I've forgotten it all i just select the automatic setting - especially for animals when they move!

IMHO, it's not worth putting a watermark on the image itself, just make sure you embed all necessary info in the metadata, including contact info if posible, setup an email address specifically for the purpose and check it once or twice a week. If anyone then uses your image unauthorised for commercial purposes, you can pretty much name your price (within reason).

Could you explain in numpty terms how to do this Boot? I wouldn't mind doing it for my painting images :smt023

It would be the equivalent of you getting a very small brush and painting your copyright data and contact details, end-on, along the edge of your canvas. :)

In all seriousness though... If it's Photoshop CS4 on a Mac, pick from your menu, File > File Info. You can fill out IPTC data. What software and operating system do you use?

Beware, the data you use, can be 'farmed' by bots, which is why I suggest using a separate email address. If you're going to use your telephone number and address details in there, I'd register with the TPS and so on. I wouldn't include my home details.

FYI, I have successfully recovered funds for images used in advertising, that were in breach of copyright.

I have Adobe elements can I do it in that? I can set up seperate email no problem - what happens then if someone does use the image - does it automatically send you an email?!!! :confused: sorry if that sounds thick.....probably cos I am when it comes to technology ;)

Already registered with TPS - several times in fact over the last few years - it doesn't stop the calls at all :(
