Call For Entries: Memento Mori
Memento Mori is an exhibition that focuses on the themes of life and death. The Latin phrase “memento mori” means “remember that you will die.” Vanitas is a notable example, juxtaposing symbols such as skulls, wilting flowers, and wealth to represent the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. Memento mori can be a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of our presence, a source of comfort and inspiration, and a reminder that demise is a natural part of life and that we should make the most of our time on this mortal coil. Show us, what makes life worth living, and how does one cope with the inevitability of death?

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR YOU:
When you are shooting in manual mode one of tools you can use to help set correct exposure is the camera meter in your camera. You can see it when you look through the viewfinder. This exposure tip will help you properly expose your photos. Cameras have an internal light meter that reads and analyzes the scene to determine whether your photo will be properly exposed based on the settings you choose. You can use the meter reading to determine if you need to make any changes to the aperture, shutter speed, or ISO to get proper exposure before you click the shutter. As you make adjustments to your settings, you will see the line on the camera meter move closer or farther away from the center of the meter (which is zero). This is what the camera meter looks like when you look through the viewfinder. The line below the meter will move to the right & left as you change your setting to indicate whether you are over or under exposing the photo. Graphic of what the meter on the back of camera will do when over, under, and properly exposed. This doesn’t mean that you always want the meter to be exactly at zero. Sometimes you will need to expose a little to the right or left to get correct exposure. This will depend on the light where you are shooting, the metering mode you are using (spot, evaluative, partial) as well as your artistic vision for the photo.
