Why digital? Part 01

I haven’t used film since 1999 and I will never go back for the reasons listed below:
I don’t have to limit the amount of photographs I take - I usually shoot around 1000 shots per wedding. This increases the chance of getting great pictures.
I can change the light sensitivity, colours, etc. in the blink of an eye. This gives me absolute freedom to read the situation and adapt. I don’t have to stop and change film every time I want to swap from colour to black and white, or every time the light conditions change (e.g. walking out of a dark church into the blazing sun). It also means that I never miss a shot, since I can shoot hundreds of photos one after the other before needing to change memory cards.
