From what I gleaned from it the elements of a correct copyright notice must include your name, the year of the copyright  and the word copyright and to be safe the copyright symbol as in the following example. Your work is covered without this notice the moment the image is formed on the film upon releasing the camera shutter, but it seems a good idea to use the copyright notice anyway in case it comes to litigation.
