Steve, Digital has not improved my skill. However it has improved my results. >From 2000-2003 I took about 100 rolls of film each year. Then I went digital. In 2004 I made about 3500 shots, so I didn't change my habits one bit the first year. 2005 and 2006 saw a slight increase, probably towards 4000 shots a year (most of the archive is on a disk offline at the moment). 2007 was met with K10D, and saw another increase to about 5000. This year I'm way behind schedule, though.
Most of the increase can probably be ascribed to playing with mosaics (aka two-dimensional stitching). I sometimes take 20-30 tile-shots for one assembly. So how come digital improves results? Well.. I think it's because I came from positive film. I was used to thinking in five stops of tonal range. Digital is so much more forgiving, and thereby increase the number of keepers in the captured material.
