Why FishNet?
The name was chosen by a helpful sub-editor because it seemed to him that it cleverly combined the subject matter, with our seaside location. ;-)
For convenience sake, I have transferred my photo blog and a few other bits and pieces to this location as well. There are some older posts whose illustrations were lost in a move from Blogger to WordPress, and some broken links here and there, which shouldn't affect the overall usability of the Blog much, if at all.

Collage or montage??
I bought FotoFusion Scrapbook Essentials a little while ago and have been creating a few layouts with it. This one was done as the icon picture for my Flickr set containing pictures from a gig I went to a little … Continue reading

Right for monochrome
Some subjects somehow just beg to be presented in monochrome even though they don’t look too bad in colour. This is one of my favourite shots from recent times.

Worldwide Photowalk
It was Scott Kelby’s third annual Worldwide Photo Walk on 24 July 2010 and I wasted no time in getting my name down for the Durban, South Africa, leg of the walk led by fellow camera club member Andrew Roos. … Continue reading

Shooting panoramas
I seem to be doing a fair bit on panoramas lately. One of the first articles I wrote concerned how to shoot them and I wrote that you had to shoot a series of overlapping pictures. The picture below shows … Continue reading
