Yes and I am still learning, shooting film for me is much easier for me than digital I have to admit.

Works even better if there is someone you trust to tell you when it's bad and why
Yes, I think it's better to find a mentor that is capable and willing analyze and critique your photos privately and honestly. :)

Rac, I don't agree with that quote.
I agree we need to learn from our mistakes. But we need to take the BEST shot we can, then learn how to make THAT good shot better. You will get better much faster making good shots better, than trying to make bad shots better.
Why in the world would anybody be making bad shots, unless that the best they can do?
Recognizing that is exactly what my current post is about! ;-)

I don't see where the original statement and your response are in conflict. The original statement doesn't say to take the worst shot possible, it just says you can learn more from a bad photograph. That's probably because there is more that can be learned from a bad photograph. I don't think that any serious photographer doesn't try to take the best photograph he can. And given different skill levels, what may be a bad photograph to one person could be a good photograph to another.

We all try to do the best we can within our expertise. A bad photograph in my humble opinion will not teach us much unless we have someone with more experience to tell us what indeed is wrong.
I tend to make the same mistakes till someone points them out for me and tell me how to improve.
