Dave, you have/own the copyright to your images, the instant you release the shutter (unless you are under a contract - i.e. you are shooting for the local paper). The next step is to register your copyright with the US Copyright office. How to do this? Carolyn E. Wright has put together a nice tutorial on how to go about registering your copyrights: Registering Your Copyrights Using the eCO System
