For Premium Members it's easy since you have Upload capability.
To start a new Thread so you can post a photo(s) follow the steps listed below.
1. Go to the Forum you want to post a photo in, for example Landscape.
2. Click on the Button "Create Thread" in the upper right corner.
A New Page will appear
3. Type in your Title
4. Type in the Message area with notes and information about the Photo you are posting.
5. If you want to have a photo from your Gallery be in this thread, then Click on the Camera icon at the top of the message area. (It says Gallery Embed if you mouse over it). Pick your Photo from the Popup window that shows.
5a. If you want to just upload a photo directly from your Computer, click on Attach Files and then a popup window will allow you to Browse on your computer and pick a photo.
5b. Once you choose a photo, you will see it as a thumbnail below the message. Click on Insert: Full Image to then place the photo into your message box. - Note: the Photo will be placed in the message area where ever your cursor was last at.
6. At the bottom of the Message area click on the button Create Thread and it will be finished and posted.
In practice:
Normally you would want to type your message, then press Enter twice to get the Cursor a bit below the text you typed. If for some reason the photo is too close or you uploaded multiple photos and you wanted text in between them, it's easy to just click into the message box next to the photo and then press Enter to then space out the photos. Once you have tried it a time or two, it's easy to get the hang of it.
