About Us

The Kings Park Photography Club is a friendly group of photo enthusiasts of all levels wishing to improve their skills in a social and educational learning environment.

We are located on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, nestled among many parks, beaches, and wildlife, with stunning landscapes and photo opportunities.

We meet once a month at the Kings Park Library located in Kings Park, NY, but one need not live in Kings Park to belong or participate.

Mission Statement:
to maintain an informal club, with our focus on learning, having fun with like-minded people, and giving back to the community.

Programs & Activities:

In Field trips throughout the year we visit a variety of venues from the North Shore of Long Island to New York City. 
 
A monthly Zoom meeting invites participants to discuss and critique their work with peers.

Club members can participate in monthly Theme Contests. Recent themes include "Graffiti", "Flowers", and "Solitary".

Whether you are interested in shooting better, composing better photos, editing or learning a new workflow, you can find friends willing to assist.  The majority of our members use digital equipment and have editing software experience.

Photo Album -  Drone Photography


The drone is just another, "Tool" in my photographic tool box. I don't use it too often, and when I do, it's just to record places that I personally want to see how they look from above, and to remember certain places, using a different perspective.

Once in a while I will try to use it creatively. Sometimes it works, and most of the times it doesn't.

I have it because I'm like a carpenter who has a boat load of tools, many of which he never uses. Then one day, he runs into a situation that requires a special or an unusual tool, and he remembers "I have the exact tool for this project!" He may only use it once or a few times, but when the occasion arises for that special job - Voila! - he's got it covered.

I sometime get tired of taking the same type of photos all the time, and like to experiment with different techniques, and to produce different types of images. A drone just gives me another way of "Seeing" the world and the environment.

About our banner...
Our banner image was taken from the Kings Park Bluff, where the Nissequogue River 
empties into the Long Island Sound.  Our members often meet and photograph the beautiful sunsets here (and sunrises for the early risers!)  We consider The Bluff as a symbol of Kings Park, and consequently as a symbol of our club.
