Smoky Mountain Photos by: Betty Shelton.  Living in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains for the past 25 years has given me ample time to photograph the intimate hollows, hills, and valleys of these southern Appliachian mountains. On several occasions, I have been published in Blue Ridge Magazine, have sold to advertising companies such as River Ridge Community and Crown Park Resort. I especially enjoy being a special events photographer for the eastern band of Cherokee Indians.
     But the past 25 years of photographing are not long enough.  I am always looking and searching for that new exciting photo when the lighting is just right, and the seasons are changing, and all is right with God's world.  It is such a pleasure just to be involved with nature, it is impossible not to become a naturalist.
     All my images have been made with a 35mm camera, being slide or digital.  All new images are digital-made with high resolution.  Check out the images displayed in the galleries, and see if my passion for photography shows in my work.  All images can be purchased in an assortment of sizes and matts.  The purchase and contact pages give detailed information.
