We recently purchased the Canon Digital Rebel XSI camera…an early Merry Christmas to us:) We are loving it, but still need to figure it out! We have messed with it some, but we have been busy. Our major issues are lighting and just figuring out what all of the buttons do..ha!
We drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake City to take some nature pictures for fun. Wow, we live in a gorgeous place! I am always in awe at the mountains that surround us. The views are breathtaking.
So here are some scenic views of Utah. We used our new camera! Hopefully our pictures will improve soon. We just need some practice and time to figure things out. It is a wonderful camera!
Already it’s looking beeeyoootiful. I am so jealous!!! Sigh 🙂
Just beautiful. Enjoy your new camera.
Just gorgeous (although I’m feeling cold just looking at the snow ;). Glad you’re enjoying the new camera- we need one!
We finally got snow! Looks like you’re having fun with the new camera!
It is beautiful country. Enjoy your camera. You’ll never lack for things to photograph.
amazing photos!!! Such a great camera!
Beautiful!! It’s always nice to get outdoors and take in all the natural wonders and now you have a awesome new camera to capture it all. Can’t believe there was running water out there, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold…
Beautiful photos I love nature a lot. 🙂
Judging from the pics, I think you might have the camera all figured out already 🙂 I’ve never been to Utah, but it looks very scenic and nice!
I’m jealous of your camera… and where you live! I’m always checking your blog, just thought I would say hi now… Hope all is well with your family!
Congrats on the groovy new camera! Your pictures are indeed beautiful.
I love the pictures of the river. very beautiful! looks like a great camera.
What beautiful photographs! Where I come form, snow is rare, so I just adore the pristine whiteness in these shots against the brilliant blue sky.

Very beautiful. I always wanted to go to Utah when I lived in AZ. Never made it there. I so wanted to go to Bryce Canyon!
Your gonna love your camera. I have had mine for almost a year..and STILL dont really know how to use it!!!!
Conrats on being asked to do more TV! They must have loved you!
I can’t wait to one day get a “nice” camera though I’ll probably be just as confused! Your photos are lovely so it looks like you’re doing a great job!
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on the new camera. Did you get a tripod yet? That is something that will definitely help enhance your picture taking.
Congratulations on your purchase! The photos are wonderful, Maria!
Beautiful pictures! I love the stream photos. Have fun with your new camera. I’ve heard that’s a good one!
Gorgeous!
Just beautiful pictures!! Being from a beachy hometown I love the mountains – you always want what you don’t have!
So thats what Utah looks like! Beautiful!
What amazing pictures I’m so jealous!
Wow, you DO live in a beautiful place! And your pictures are already wonderful — you are a natural!
The close up of the rapids is my favorite!! How beautiful, way to go guys
So pretty! I’d love to see Utah! I’m jealous too ,-P…
Cheers,

How exciting you guys. Of course you picked the best camera brand around. I’m looking at getting a Digital Rebel one of these days. For now our S5 IS will suffice, because it takes some excellent photos as well.
So pretty! enjoy the new camera! It’s awesome!
Beautiful shots! Looks like you guys are getting the hang of it. I have the same camera and I seem to use the macro setting the most! That and the button for portraits for the kids. Looking forward to seeing more great pictures.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing with us.
