That will happen when the mood strikes me (and when I can think quickly enough to select the exposure/aperture/focus for the shot).

They're not really as different as you think, except film allows for a bit more slop in exposure (well, black and white film, anyway).
In some ways you have to be more careful with the M8, in others not as much.
But I agree (as usual) with William and Jaap--mood *is* what you shoot for and technique is a tool; proper exposure ensures you get the effect you're going after (that's not to say somethings don't come in post either. Ansel Adams certainly pre-visualized, but didn't neglect post processing in the slightest).
