Adding Images

I hunted for over an hour to try and find the right link to add this Vivitar camera image to this page and couldn't find it. Where are these links at now? Tell me precisely what to do and where to go to find the right link. Thanks in advance! It used to be a lot easier to add images before Flickr crapped out.

And to make things worse Flickr changed the way the link information is given several times ! At the moment it goes like this :

Go to the image, click share, choose Embed and choose size.
Copy the give code.
Paste the given code :
<a data-flickr-embed="true"  href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/49656291@N00/27843607710/in/pool-camerawiki/" title="Vivitar 845 Tele Motor"><img src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7235/27843607710_7506948499_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Vivitar 845 Tele Motor"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

From this get the "image_source" and delete the "s" in "https".
So :
https://www.flickr.com/photos/49656291@N00/27843607710/in/pool-camerawiki
Becomes :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/49656291@N00/27843607710/in/pool-camerawiki

Next is the Image URL itself.
A conversion has to be made and it goes like this : 
- Delete the "s" in "https"
- Substitute '''farm''' for first 2 characters after //
- Take the number behind staticflickr.com/ and put it after '''farm'''
- Remove number and one slash behind staticflickr.com/
So :
https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7235/27843607710_7506948499_m.jpg
Becomes :
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7235/27843607710_7506948499_m.jpg

The "image-by" needs the Image Authors name
You normally can get that by clicking on his/her name at the image.
In this case it is : HaarFager (Pro)
However sometimes authors have changed their name in the course of history.
When they have added images before then you have to look up their earlier used names in the Camera-Wiki.
In this case it is : Kenneth Dwain Harrelson

Hope this helps out a little bit !
btw I don't think that a camera's Discussion page is the right place to handle questions like this one.
Better would be on the Flickr Camerawiki groups page

Thanks! I never would have figured that out! Kenny HaarFager (talk) 11:16, 9 July 2016 (CDT)
