About Us

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

Our 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 do group photo shoots at a variety of locations from 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, submitting photos and receiving votes from peers who choose monthly winners.
Whether you are interested in shooting better, composing better photos, editing, or learning a new workflow, you can find friends willing to assist you in improving and enjoying your photography.  Join us!.

About our banner...

Our banner image was taken by Art Liefke at the Kings Park Bluff, where the Nissequogue River empties into Long Island Sound.  Our members often meet and photograph the beautiful sunrises and sunsets here.

We consider The Bluff a symbol of Kings Park, and consequently as a symbol of our club.

Winter Wildlife - 2026
Featured Album - March 2026
Winter Wildlife - 2026 by Antoni Zaborek
 
Antoni's 90-acre farm in Morrisonville in the Adirondacks is a sanctuary for wild animals, where hunting, shooting and trapping are prohibited. It's an oasis of peace, and a home for bear, moose, red fox, bobcats and other wildlife.

Antoni researches the locations and sightings of rare birds (e.g. ebird ). He finds animal wildlife near waterholes, landfills and campgrounds. He feeds hummingbirds, and sees no problem with baiting wild creatures to photograph them in the frozen winter.  He sets up in a protected hideout, using a tripod to minimize vibration, sometimes in temperatures of -19 or colder. He sets his Nikon lens at 600mm, f/8, low ISO, shutter speed at 1/200 or 1/100.  (He also uses or a lighter 500mm lens and camers when traveling.)

Antoni's favorite time to shoot is in the early morning, when the mist acts as a natural soft filter. He admires the work of other photographers including Marc Damon (Marc Damon Photography) and Clyde Butcher (Clyde Butcher)   His near-term goal is to shoot the cypress swamp landscapes at Caddo Lake  (Caddo Lake) in Texas.

Antoni's March Featured Album also includes several of his "Firefly-assisted" paintings of wildlife, as well as shots taken in Everglades Park near his home in Naples, Florida.
