[ img ] url of the image [ /img ]
for example (quote my post to see the code)


You'll usually want to put photos in spoiler tags too, so they don't distort the page and mess up people's scrolling while they're loading.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The full-size post reply form has buttons for the image and spoiler tags, if you can't be bothered to remember them.

EDIT: Oh, if it's a photo you have stored locally, you'll need to upload it to an image host first - the image tags only work for URLs. img.ie and imgur are two good, free ones.

Thanks for the help so far. Do you have any advice for downloaded images in particular.
