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.

Featured Album - January 2026
"The Sunken Meadow Edit" by Arthur Liefke

This month features a tutorial explaining, in detail, how Art uses the tools of Adobe Photoshop to convert from a nice photo into a masterpiece.  Throughout his years as a photographer, Art has always been a "scientist", experimenting with vintage cameras and lenses, pinhole phtotography, shooting through glass & water, sound mixing, multiple exposures, and especially, software techniques and tools that create dramatic images. 

In this month's featured album, Art presents a step-by-step tutorial on the use of Photoshop Curves, Colorization, and Black & White Conversion processes. This featured album is not for the fainthearted! But for those who want to use post-processing (as did Ansel Adams and other iconic photographers, as they dodged and burned in their darkrooms...), see for yourself how the "after" enhances the "before".
