After 6 months of shooting film. I decided it was getting expensive and wondering if it was really worth it. I went out with my digital scanning camera and took a few shots as a test to see if I really "needed" to shoot film.

I just cannot go back. I was happy with the compositions, but the color and detail rendering were god awful. Trees and grass in particular, sand, anything with fine detail was somehow simultaneously mushy and over-sharpened. Color was garish and Rockwellian. Compared to the subtle and nuanced rending of film digital just falls woefully short. Even the editing is much faster, film looks more or less good right out of the box once scanned. The majority of which was just white balance tweaking and dialing in the exposure.
I guess I'm mostly just shocked by how awful it is going back. The only thing I can compare it to is that one time I stopped drinking soda, and then tried one months later. It was awful, I couldn't believe I had even enjoyed drinking it.
