Here's another idea to help protect your photographs from unguarded plagiarism.
Earlier we talked about saving your photos in RAW format which records all information about each picture, including date and time stamps as well as your copyright information.

We learned that as good as you are in photography there is no guarantee that your photos won't be captured and made viral without your knowledge.
Photo Copyright Not Protecting ~ CASE Study to prove a point
But there is another layer you can put between yourself and the unintentional (or not) "photo grabber".
Very simply, link your photos back to either your blog or website, where the C&P (copy and paste) person will unknowingly be providing a link back to you. The caveat here is that they don't first save the image to their hard-drive. I won't go further, so as not to provide too much "useful" information. Here is an example of what I mean. Below is one of my photographs; it contains a live link - click the photo below and see what happens.

Also note that "Gail MacMillan Copyright 2009" is imbedded in this picture. None of this is fool-proof BUT it does provide another "Link in the Armor" Happy shooting :-)
