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.

France, 2025
Featured Album - October 2025
France 2025 by Marie Altenburg

I have always enjoyed photography, and consider it a wonderful way to express my artistic side. Over the past 40 years I’ve developed ways of utilizing light and color to produce vivid art, including sculpture, painting and photography. My portfolio showcases abstract work, flowers, whimsical compositions and photos shot in locations throughout the world.

All of the photos in the album were taken with my cell phone - an iPhone 14 Pro Max.  I don’t take my Nikon with me on trips anymore.  It's too heavy.  And none of the photos were processed in Photoshop - they’re right out of the camera.  The montage was  done on a phone app, too.

The trip was great!  We stayed in a rustic farmhouse in a Paris suburb and used that as our home base.  My daughter, son-in-law, and two of my grandchildren stayed with us for about 12 days of our month- long trip.  The worst part was that our return trip home was delayed and then cancelled about 6 or 7 times - I lost count!  While it might sound wonderful to be “stuck” in Paris, it caused all sorts of problems for us. Despite the problems we encountered at the end of the trip, being able to travel through France for an entire month was a blessing.
