First, they put pictures in "carousels" so you can't just "open picture in a new tab" as most sites will let you do, nor copy the image link to paste into DU. I couldn't even save the image below to disk/storage.
So I took a screenshot, saved it to disk, and uploaded it to an image hosting site. In my case, I used https://imgbb.com.
This is not the user-friendliest site but I have worked out a routine. You may like another better and I am sure you will.
Here's the shot.
On ios there's no "open image" so that you can copy the link.
So, either save the image to your camera roll and upload it later, or if the site won't let you save the image ( mean-spirited JavaScript) then take a screensnap and upload that later.
I have tried all these things, and encountered all kinds of mean webmaster tricks.
I hope I've kept this as simple as possible.
Just to let you know that some sites make it difficult to copy images (imdb does) and that it's doable.
BTW, if you search for images, some will come up with URLS that DU cannot handle. They have weird characters in them and so on.
In that case, do save the image to your camera roll ("Show image" always works) and upload that.
"The internet is one tough town".
Good luck.
