I thought maybe it was a film image when I first saw it. I don't know how I can tell, but even once film images are translated to a screen, they have a different feel to them. (I'm not always right, but often have a good sense about it.) Thank you for continuing to use film - it really is the best.

I cannot succumb to digital cameras quite yet . . .

Do you have a local place that develops your film, or do you do that also?
Scott Holcomb replied to raingirl:
I scan the negatives and do the digital post processing

We have Blue Moon Camera in a suburb here in Portland, Oregon.
I used to do a small amount of b&w film processing, but I never liked it. Partly I was always scared I would mess up and all would be lost. Printing you can re-do, of course, and that was always the fun part. I never even tried color film processing.
Do you have a setting you often use for the scanning? I find the settings in the Epson V600 to be a bit confusing sometimes as they seem to be about the whole scan bed, so when I am scanning just one film strip I don't understand what resolution etc would be best.

30-40 minutes post processing? You are fast!
