protecting your photos
I just recently went to Sumatra on a surf trip and got some really good shots, with my d80. I was approach with the offer to purchase a few of my photos to be used as advertising on the surf camps web page. The /img/avatar5.jpg wants me to send a few shots via email to choose which ones he likes..

Is there an easy way of protecting these photos I send so he doesnt just use them on his web page?.

I'm not expecting to make a fortune with my shots but as I have never sold photos before can anyone suggest a basic price..

Thanks in advanceadrian..

Put a watermark on the images so they can not be used. You should also send him a license agreement that defines ownership & rights of use..

Email him low resolution copies to evaluate and make friendly mention of your copyright in the accompanying email..

Resize to 640x480 and embed a diagonal watermark./Don't wait for the Nikon D-whatever, have fun now!http://www.flickr.com/photos/j_wijnands/..

If anyone wants to use them on a web page, anything you send to evaluate is large enough to be used. How did the images get noticed by the person who approached you? Are they already on the web? If so, why are you asked to send pictures if they already have them on their computer?.

Don't just put your copyright on the image, put it across the entire image with semi transparency. I do it with all the pictures on my sports web site.http://bermansports.com/.
