Inserting "zoomable" images on your Steemit post

in #image8 years ago

I just posted a couple of photos in a post:
(https://steemit.com/photography/@boarddavid/a-view-of-the-stars-taken-in-the-ashdown-forest-using-an-lg-g4-smart-phone-and-manual-settings)

The images show on screen quite small and you cannot see all of the detail or zoom-in, even though the original photos are high-res. As I'm no expert with Markdown styling, I thought I would post the solution I found and hopefully save people some time searching Google like I did.

As far as I know, this is called "wrapping", as far as I understand you insert the picture you wish to use with a link "wrapped" around it, the link is to the full-res photo and if the image is clicked it opens in full-res in a new tab/window; there might be other ways to do this, but for now I think this is the cleanest looking.

I cannot type out the exact code here, because if I do it will only show the clickable/zoomable photo, so I have inserted a screen-shot of the code instead, you should change-out the links to your own photos and it should load properly.

Hope this helps other people and saves some time.

Awesome! Thanks so much!

I'll be adding this feature to the photos I've posted of my cannabis. :) Love the macros!

Thanks a ton mate! I was looking for this option since the day one!
