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!.

ANTARCTICA THE WHITE WLIDERNESS
Featured Album - August 2026
Antarctica, the White Wilderness, by Alan Lichtenstein

Alan was born in Brooklyn, trained as a chemist, and retired as an assistant principal. He bought his first digital camera in 2006, and used it in automatic mode for three years until he decided to learn what all those features on the menu icons were about. He used to be an avid surf fisherman, and got into photography when he started to have double vision and could no longer fish at night.

He's a "Straight Out of the Camera" (SOOC) photographer, and does no editing, except for occasional cropping and resizing.

His photographic special interests are sunrises, sunsets, and the blue hour. He had been an unreconstructed Olympus user until he tired of the 2.0 crop and traded in his Olympus equipment for the full-frame Sony A7 IV.

He and his wife travel extensively, having visited every continent and every time zone, and are still growing strong.  This month's Featured Album captures their experiences traveling to Antarctica, the "White Continent."

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.
