HELLO! I’ve been walking my dog Wally on repeat these days. This week I brought my @NikonUSA #Z50 and participated in the Nikon Creators Hour Nature Walk Challenge. I am so proud to be a #partner with this great company!

Each week they are announcing new challenges that you can do from home… a fun way to stay creative!  Today’s challenge is to take a solo nature walk with a small checklist of things to photograph!

I have been using the “Tiny But Mighty” Z50 to participate. The mirrorless DSLR is small enough to comfortably carry on a walk but powerful enough to catch share-worthy images.

Cloud Formation was one of the challenged on their list. My favorite!

This park is within walking distance to our home and is a great place for our family to explore.

This is “Something Yellow”. These are some of the very first blooms here in Wisconsin. This one we cut from our front yard.

Found a bird in flight using the #Z50 with NIKKOR DX 50-250 (4.5-6.3) long lens. The camera kit also came with a small pancake lens that I use regularly.

Guess what!? I will be giving away one of these mirrorless cameras with both lenses very soon! Stay tuned to my Instagram feed for more details.

Good thing the #Z50 has a tough magnesium alloy body because it definitely got wet on our walk!

This was for the “Puddle Reflection” challenge. Arlo was thrilled. Challenge Accepted!

I also made a few fun edits using the puddle pictures!

My son Cy asked to try out the camera. The touch-screen on the #Z50 made it easy for him to use. He took this photo! I think we have a budding photographer in the family.

Thank you for this super fun activity @NikonUSA. I am proud to be your partner! The #Z50 is the perfect camera to bring along on a nature walk.
