I disagree.
It means you have to write stuff down and/or remember why you did a
particular thing three days ago when you get around to viewing the results.

No problem, sure if you take 1000s of snaps how will you remmeber but iof you're limted to a few then you'll remmeber them, especailly when it's costing you money.

While digital lets you see what works there and then and its easier to
see why.

This is not what people tend to do though.

It also allows you to experiment and produce different pictures which
you would never do with film.

in theory but rarely in practice.
Colleges are going back to film, you'll often here of schools and colleges askign about darkroom stuff.





With digital there is no cost in taking a 1000 bad shots and then
deleting them from the SD card.

Time is the cost and until you can tell the differnce between a good
shot and a bad one how will you know which to delete.

You learn from your mistakes and you can make more mistakes with digital.

But you have to realises they are mistakes first, and how will they know.
