I think most of us here would agree that digital has been one of the best things to happen to us, photographicly speaking.
Well yes, but .... with digital I take a LOT MORE pictures, so my "keeper ratio" is less. Whereas before digital I was much more judicious, so I had more "keepers" from each roll, (let's say for purposes of argument a roll is 24). Now, with digital, out of every 24 pictures I take, I keep maybe one. Why? Because out of every 24, I'm taking 24 exposures of the same subject (from different angles and such). So out of all of them, I choose one. I may have 15 "good ones", but my BEST is the only one I really keep.
