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!. 
Slideshow
Astro Photography
Featured Album - November 2026
Astrophotography by George Joseph

Navigating the coast for photo subjects between twilight and dawn requires patience, a locked-down tripod, and deliberate timing.

This slideshow collection captures the quiet geometry of weathered docks, distant violent lightning breaks, and moonlit shorelines. Alternating between saturated dusk hues and high-contrast monochrome images, it captures the quiet drama that only emerges after sundown. 
To retain dynamic range across deep night shadows and brilliant highlights, these frames rely on:
  • multi-shot exposure bracketing,
  • calculated long shutter speeds that smooth moving tides into glass, and
  • selective focus stacking to hold sharp detail, from foreground pilings to distant celestial horizons.
Together, the series reflects the dedicated solitude of nocturnal field work, revealing an entirely different presence under the night sky. The process takes time, patience, persistence and planning - but the resulting images are worth it.

We’re not a competitive club, but we do take photos. Some of our members post photos to Facebook, to 52 Frames and to Instagram. While most of the photo albums on our club website are visible to members only, we have created a page « Our Best Photos », which is visible to the public. Our Best Photos


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.
