Working habits: film and digital

[Pfreddee]

I learned photography on film cameras, and I have taken my time about finishing a roll of film. 36 exposures seems to take an age, 24 exposures is a little better, and 12-on with MF is quickest of all, but not really burning up the film. Adding digital to the mix, I have kept shooting at my same pace: leisurely. And after shooting digital for four years along with film I have kept the same slow pace of exposures. Has anyone else out there noticed that they shoot digital at the same pace as they sho(o)t film? I know that my working pace is a habit and I see no real reason to change, but I was wondering if you started in film and worked slowly, did this work habit carry over to digital?

Thank you to all who reply.

With best regards,

Learning on film, I was never a film burner like yourself. Having a M240 and other digital cameras I try to limit myself to a few good or hopefully a few great frames while walking about. Sold all my film M's, and I just purchased a M6 (again). Nice and slow with film and digital I guess.

I also shoot film and digital equally fast. Must admit, I shoot very little digital these days, more like 90% film.
