How could I prove that I took a photograph?
I was uploading a picture I took on holiday to a picture website. It was for selling pictures, so obviously you'd only be able to sell pictures you actually own. But how is it possible to prove that the pictures I upload are mine? (They are mine, I just don't know how I'd prove it). Hope this made sense.
- Thanks

Ensure that you keep other shots taken at that session.
Make sure the metadata is kept in the original files (only use duplicate files for editing etc)
If your camera can, then make sure it embeds your details on the file as taken, also camera serial number etc.
If the camera does not embed this info then make sure that the first thing you do with all files is embed your copyright info onto the files.
that is about it really

I doubt they would require you to prove it unless there is a dispute. One thing you can do is make sure that your copyright notice is in the metadata of the image itself. You can edit metadata in Bridge, Lightroom, Aperture, etc. The other thing you could do is register your image with the copyright office then refer the website to the document.

THe best way to do it is to put your watermark somewhere on the pic as a transparency. That way, you are protected.
Use photoshop or whatever and create a transparent logo or shomething and keep it on file. Then, just copy/paste to all your photos.
