“But Mommy said I could have another biscuit . . . ” This is Ginger as a puppy giving us the look you just can’t say no to, so she got lots of biscuits!
Did you know when Golden Retrievers were first registered at a kennel club, they were called Golden Flat-Coats. In 1911 the name was changed to Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever Club of England was formed in 1913 and the breed was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1925.
Official Golden Retriever: The History of the Golden Retriever
It’s a Golden Life!
Trog whirls around the sun with his wife Sweet Magnolia and their golden retrievers in pastoral northern Illinois. When he’s not dodging the tumbleweeds of magic golden fibers, Trog can be found exploring the countryside for nature’s gifts and moments, with an occasional capture here and there with his trusty ol’ Nikon.
Trog’s portfolio of images includes not only Golden Retrievers but also Nature, Wildlife, Landscapes and other genres from time to time. His images provide the content for the various brands of Trog’s World LLC: Scriptures in Pictures®, Trog’s Dogs® and Trogography.
The Geeky Stuff
For those interested in some of the behind-the-scenes info such as camera and settings, I’ve listed some specs below. With the advances in technology we’ve experienced with these picture-taking apparatuses over the last few years, all of the top brands can produce very fine photos. But I’ve been with Nikon for over 20 years now, and it is my go-to for captured moments.
For post-processing, Adobe Bridge, Raw, Photoshop and Lightroom are used to produce the final images.
Cameras: Nikon D850 and Z9
Lenses: Various Nikkor lenses, 70-200mm, 50mm, 16-35mm
