Exploration and Discovery

Exploration- An act of exploring, investigating, or examination of unknown reigns.

Exploration can be used and have different aspects in what subject you are using it in, but most people would associate the word with someone going out into a unfamiliar place and getting new knowledge from what they find, but that could also link that description with discovery as well. Even thought that is the basic way of describing what exploration means, it could also be used in the same way but in a context way, so you would be exploring a book because you haven't read it before and your getting the information the book has to offer. Or studying something like the brain and when you explore in new places, you are bound to discover, and this is where the link between the the words become.

Discovery- To be the first person of your kind/ group to find, learn or observe something unknown and take knowledge from this new 'Discovery'.
The two words link together so well because that is the reason that you explore and it is it discover.
Theses are some photos that I think have something to do with discovery.

When doing photography, one of the first things you will discover is your camera and what it can do such as all the settings and the things that make taking the photo that you exactly want much easier. Here is a photo that labels all of the settings and features of my camera:

As you can see it is a fairly simple DSLR, but does have some special features that not all of its kind would have. Firstly, one of the main extra things on this model is that it can record in 'AVC HD' and also take ordinary still motion photos. And also it has a touch screen that can also flip out to different angles, so for ex sample, when taking a photos of something higher up, you can hold the camera up and twist the screen down so you just have to look up with out needed to get on a higher ground to look at what your taking a photo of. Likewise, if your taking a photo of something on the ground or lower down, you don't need to actually get on the ground and lie down when taking it just twist the screen up and look down on to the screen.

On the top of the camera you have the pop up flash, the top of the view finder, and a place to attach an exstened flash and microphone. On the right hand side we have the shutter, the motion picture recording button, 'auto intelligence setting', and the mode dial where you can change the main amount of settings.

On the dial there is on 'on and off' switch, and then a multiply switch that can rotate from 'single photo', 'burst mode', auto brackets', and 'timer'. Then on the actually round dial, there are 13 different settings of your choose. The most common one and simple one is the 'P' setting and that stands for 'Program' and that means that it sets the shutters speed and the aperture by it's self, but it is different to the auto setting because you can change the focus and where the main focus will be unlike the auto setting. The other two settings stand for 'Aputure' and 'Shutter speed' and in those settings you can manually change the shutter speed or the aperture value depending on which one your on, but it will automatically set an average of the setting that your not manually adjusting. the last one in the white ring is M and that stands for 'Manual' and this is where the camera just takes the photo with out adjusting anything its self, so it is where you can set the shutter speed and the aperture value your self exactly how your want it. Then going up from the manual setting, the is 'Cust' which is custom setting where you can choose the type of settings that you might use quite a lot and keeps those settings so you don't have to go on manual and change them if that is the type of settings that you use the most. Then we have the 'Motion Picture' setting which is were you can change all the recording settings, then 'SCN' setting which is set for taking a photo of a landscape scene picture, then there is face recognition where you can registers peoples faces and the camera will remember the face and name who ever you have register if you take a photo of them, then there is the 'Micro setting' which is used for taking photos of something small and close up, then there is 'sport made' and this is where the camera will make the shutter speed just right for a fast moving object so that it will have the right amount of light, but also be a very sharp photo, then there is land scape for taking photos of a large landscape picture, then portrait which is for taking close up photos of peoples faces and that can work in unison with face recondition as well, and Finlay, there is 'custom colour' and that is where you can change there colour settings, the brightness, the contrast and how much colour is actully  the photo.
