Morphology

webshot = web + shot (transparent) = web + shot

The sense 'a photograph shared on the internet' follows directly from 'web' + 'shot'.

Etymology

Webshot joins web ('the internet') and shot ('a photo'), so you can think of it as a 'photo shared on the web'. That's why people use it for pictures they post online for fun or memory.
