Geoff, you hit the nail right on the head.

Not just that but my photography sessions were much less frequent.  Most extravagant was my trip to Le-Mans when I took about seven rolls of film in 36 hours.  Due to my lack of practice and in such a strange environment (for me) I did't get as many really good pictures as I would have had I gone in recent times having had loads of practice at lesser events, which was afforded due to the 'free film' provided by digital.

Digital has many advantages but I still say the biggest are the 'free film' and the histogram.  I can home in and get an optimal exposure in difficult or impossible lighting, even bracketing and combining images (HDR) at times to 'get the picture'.

All that said, I haven't even picked up a camera for at least two months.  Just been too busy.
