Give this a try:

   #centeredImage {
     width: 100px;
     height: 100px;
     position: absolute;
     top: 50%;
     left: 50%;
     margin: -50px 0 0 -50px;
     padding: 0;
   }

   <div id="centeredImage"><img ... width="100" height="100" ... ></div>

If all you need to do is center an image on the viewport, that should 
do it for you. Obviously, adjust the width, height, and margin 
properties to suit your needs.
