Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
back in the days of film I used to get the exposure right first time, nine 
times out of ten (often using a grey card).

Now, with digital, I must confess to having become rather sloppy. I always end 
up with the right exposure, but often after a test shot or two.

Digital has resulted in my thinking less before shooting, because it's so easy 
to reshoot. 

This is a bad habit, because you have to get it right first time on some 
occasions - so getting out of the habit of thinking first is very  
undesireable.

Are others finding the same thing?

I'm working on regaining my former discipline of thinking more first.

I think of Magnum-type photographers who must be very disciplined in this 
regard because they really only get one chance.
