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.

As a recent retiree, I am finally able to spend some time enjoying interests I have put off for so long. I am excited to be a part of the KPPC and appreciate the friendliness I have experienced so far, particularly the support by featuring my Seeds Album.


I have always gardened and taken pictures of my garden and flower beds.  I prefer nature to portraits, and enjoy macro photography and using props and backgrounds in some of my shots. I truly enjoy the morning light for its peaceful beauty.


I have a Canon 40 EOS D that my husband gave me years ago, with three very expensive lenses, but tend to use my phone for convenience. I have learned to muddle through using my macro lens on the Canon, but hope to learn from being around others who understand photography much better.


The photos in this album are some of my favorites.  At the end of gardening season I collect seed heads to share and replant the following year.  Often I will find some very interesting photo opportunities.  I also have a website of water rooted houseplants that I grow in wine bottles.  I enjoyed creating the site almost at much as I did taking the photos for it.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did creating them, and welcome any feedback.
