A strategically timed ferry ride can provide access to some very impressive sunsets.

Fire Island's scenic oceanfront vistas and colorful sunrises and sunsets over the ocean or bay provide great opportunities for photography, when conditions are just right.

The Fire Island Lighthouse is perhaps one of the most recognizable landmarks on Long Island, and makes a very patient "model" for your camera. 

If you are engaged in any commercial photography or filming, you must obtain a special use permit from the National Park Service.

You may have an opportunity to share your images in either the park's annual photography contest or a larger National Park Foundation-sponsored event.

The Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society hosts an annual art show, usually in July, that includes local photography.
