    I have certain photos of places where i went.
    I want to publish it in my blog.
    But what should i do it to make it copyrighted?
    Is it alright if i publish the photos before i get my copyright?

    This is the copywriting forum. It has nothing to do with copyright law.

    If you live in a country where Berne Convention standards apply, copyright is automatic. You have an automatic right to control the way your work is used. You do not have to register your work. In fact, some jurisdictions don't even have laws in place to facilitate registration.

    If you live in a country that does facilitate registration and you fail to register your work, you might have trouble trying to prove that the work is yours.

    If it's very important for you to protect your work, it would be prudent to register it first, before publishing it on your site.

    You could always just watermark them so no one would want to steal them.

    Wrong forum but the above will be mor ethan enough for you or a simple water mark, disabling hot linking etc will also aid in prevention.
