Freedom with Subject
Freedom with subject describes the accessibility of a subject; how easy or difficult it is to capture that subject. Digital photography increases the accessibility of a subject and hence the freedom one has with it. The reasons for this are that digital cameras' storage capacities (memories) are large and relatively little amount of energy is required to actually take a digital photo. The challenge with a digital camera is finding and selecting subjects and good compositions. Much of the challenge of digital photography is simply going and getting to places which have great subjects. Once you find the right subject, then choosing a composition and pressing the button are virtually all that are required. Therefore, it can be said that a digital camera helps one to have freedom with subject. Yet as with other freedoms this should not be abused. The fact that it takes very little energy to execute a digital photo does not mean one should not put a lot of care and attention into what one is photographing. Likewise, the fact that one can take lots of photos because the memory of the camera is large does not mean one should take lots of photos. The mark of a good digital photographer is not one who takes lots of photos, rather it is one who can capture a great composition with few attempts.
