2011 was full of new and exciting opportunities for the Rooster boys. We logged a ton of miles in shooting travels and were lucky enough to add to our camera gear family with two new Nikon d7000 bodies, allowing us to shoot higher quality images in low lighting. We go to meet some great new friends and see lots of beautiful new places. While we shot our fair share of live music, freezing cold football games and morning landscapes we also branched out and did our first commercial photography for East Tennessee State University. The work that we did for ETSU landed us our first ADDY advertising award. Check out our coverage of the state on the Rooster map below. After that, see some of what we saw from behind the lens in 2011 by viewing the string of photos. Thanks for all the support you have provided this year, we wouldn’t be here without you and wish you all the best in 2012!
