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.

Beautiful Fall
Featured Album - December 2025
by Gerta Polgardy

I've always enjoyed shooting photos, from when I was a teenager in Germany.  Ever since I joined the Kings Park Photography Club after my retirement in 2012, I've enjoyed going on photo shoots with the club members. I especially enjoy shooting the lovely sights and scenic destinations on Long Island and our surrounding areas.

My first camera was a AGFA. (I don’t think this company still makes cameras!) I currently shoot with the iPhone 15pro, but will upgrade soon to the 17pro.  I use my cellphone camera since it allows me to be "in the moment", capturing special scenes without carrying around heavy gear. 

The photos in this slideshow were shot in many of the beautiful local parks including Cold Spring Harbor, Heckscher Park, Central Park, Sunken Meadow, Caleb Smith Park, and others.
