No More Color

Of course color is nice where it's an important part of the scene, e.g. foliage, flowers, colorful dress, colorful scenes so I would not stop shooting color. Developing color negative film with C41 kits and making RA4 color prints is enjoyable, not difficult, and the quality is excellent.

Here We Go Again

I shoot both digital color and film. The choice is a matter of purpose and intent. If I want to make a journalistic record I'm all for digital.
If I'm out stalking compositions and I want to make art it must be film. Here's a couple from the same shoot...

If you can't see the difference, by all means, stay with digital for everything.
 
For own work - I still prefer Ektar 100 or Portra 160 over digital depending on the look I want.

That said - with closing of many local color processors, the convenience of digital and extra work flow to scan color film, I can clearly see why many folks don't find color film personally worth the effort.

In the past years - I've seen many of my favorite color films disappear. Others like Fuji 400H have really gone up in price.
