I went out at lunchtime today to the James and Ethel Gray Park close to Melrose Arch. It was a scouting expedition for a new park to use as a photo venue. My photos from my excursion are a mish-mash of styles today, and I only used my 50mm f1.8 lens. This time, even though...
that dragonfly is amazing!
The dragonfly is just stunning… and you live in such a beautiful place. Would love to visit that area sometime. Now you got me thinking…. 
I opened up your blog and the photo of the dragonfly literally took my breath away! I also love the 2nd last shot of the flower.
Love love love the 1st one! Very impressive Jeanette. I also really like the rest especially the grass one ~ the affect you using is really nice.
In the couple of times I have been to Johannesburg I haven’t yet had the opportunity or the location to take a nice skyline pic of the city. This looks like a good spot.
I really like the texture of the bark, works well in black and white.
Absolutly stunning work.
Stunning! My two favourite? Jozi skyline and the dragonfly! Well done!
Beautiful pictures – and love the dragonfly!
Wow – lovely! The dragonfly is gorgeous! But think before you go anywhere .. and NEVER alone!!! Your angels were with you – please don’t do it again!
Stunning photos Jeanette, different from your usual but very much the same professional quality. I love the textures of the trees bark and the dof of the insect and flowers.
It looks fabulous! Thats some view!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! that dragonfly shot is *ah-may-zzzing!!!*
Vincent contacted me a few days ago, and asked to blog on his online magazine about choosing a camera… which I duly did.
Check out my post where I discuss the pros and cons of DSLR’s vs advanced compact cameras.
Many of the people following my blog now, don’t actually realise that I only got a DSLR...

Wow, that is a beautiful shot! Congrats on being a guest blogger too. 
Way to go Jeanette!!!!!
Nice article. Congrats
Great. I’m off to go and read it straight away. I’m still on an advanced compact as well. At this stage I have other priorities in life to spend my money on and a DSLR will have to wait. Maybe I’ll win one in some photo competition
And what a great article it was.
Seriously more than I’d expected and exactly on point. The DSLR vs. point and shoot camera debate is one I’ve been having with myself for a long time, but it sounds like after playing around with a point and shoot camera for a while I think, like you I need to progress to the next level.
Mind you that image above is awesome – so maybe I’ve still got quite a bit to learn before I progress.
Thanks again for writing the article for us! We seriously appreciate it!
Oh I love that! Reminds me of candy floss! LOL Annie! I will probably be at the airport when my ship comes in!!
Wow what an amazing photo! So there is hope for my photography dreams even if I cannot afford a DSLR at the moment. Gonna definitely read your article so that I am prepared when my ship does come in!!
I love the pink and blue of the open sky…very nicely done Jeanette!
I’ve been in Cape Town over the last 2 days doing presentations and a portrait shoot. Yesterday evening, I just made it up Signal Hill and to Kloof Rd before the sun set and managed to get a few shots of this beautiful city. Even though I’ve very glad to be home; I wish I’d...

A small, tiny request for when you go to Cape Town again, don’t forget the 12 Apostles
Beautiful! I particularly like the sunset from Kloof Road.
I like the first picture, the scene is just magnificent. I usually go to the sea side at dusk and just sit there and watch… or if I had time I would go to the mountains and watch it from there… Nice photos, really like them.

I’ve just come home from a strategy weekend at Kloofzicht Hotel, in Muldersdrift; and although I didn’t have very much time to myself, I managed to catch the sunset last night, and then I woke up early (which was a huge feat considering the time I got to sleep) to get photos of the sun...
