Hello everyone! Welcome to my space on the web, I’ll be using this blog as my learning log in Photography. My first blog post tells you a bit about me in slightly more detail if you want to take a look.
Basically, I am an amateur photography enthusiast who enjoys experimenting with different genres in my quest to find my style. I will turn my hand to anything. I do have a few images under licence with Getty Images, I also do photoshoots and wedding photography for family and friends, as well as any other photographs I am asked for. BUT I am not trying to make a living out of photography (I already have an occupation as a financial director for a group of companies) so do not advertise. I am in it for the love of the art and part of the fun for me is in sharing and learning more. So this blog will just be all about me sharing my photos and my love of photography.
I do have one another blog which I set up fairly recently, I set it up as a long term personal project to document places around me and places I visit in the UK photographically (historic and current day) and also documenting any facts that I find about the buildings and the locations. This blog can be found here.
Please note: I have decided not to participate in awards – your visit (and, if you have time, comment) is reward enough.

You’re welcome Karen. That’s ok – I know some blogs elect not to do awards, at least you know technically you ‘have’ them :).

You’ve been nominated for the Liebster Award. I apologize if you’ve already been nominated, but then again…it could be a good thing. I was nominated and picked 10 blogs to nominate. Some are under 200 followers, some are not. These are blogs that really spoke to me and the timer cut me off from spending too much more time scrolling the blogo-sphere looking for new blogs!
So just go here http://dawnengler.com/2015/03/20/liebster-award-nomination/ for all the pertinent info!

Hello Karen: I have nominated you for the Four Elements Photo Challenge. I hope you don’t mind. The Challenge is to post four photos that illustrate the elements Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The added poetry is not part of the challenge criteria. I added that feature on my own.
This is supposed to be fun. Don’t worry if you are unable to participate or to nominate four other bloggers. In love and light Cheryle
