After shooting over 90% of my personal stuff on film the last three years, I'm doing more digital now.
Still have to remind myself that it's ok to push the button more often, as it's "free" now.
The thing that really baffles me is how different colours are (not just in my digital pictures, in others' as well) -
they are no longer coined by the specific "character" of the particular film material (so, in other words, they're freed from this really, which basically must be a good thing).
But I don't know, I can shoot nice stuff in nice light on digital, and still it looks "dead".
This has a lot to do with the colours, I think.
Digital's more exact / neutral colours should, in theory, be closer to how you perceive the world around you - but to me it really isn't. It's weird.
