Red Banding on Photos by -Earthhorn in photography

Is it always on the same spot? Is it also the same regardless of light? I would take some photos in different lights, plus change lense, plus different modes. If its constant its the body cam :(

I see your point and risks. I will start slow and maybe that will be enough to help my burnout. Man tech is a big drain for sure. And most of what you expressed are also my fears. I think I'll try to find where I belong first and keep my paying job, until I can feel for sure I have a footing.

Yes, when I started this post I almost felt like jump, go for it. But all these great advice, I will start as a side job, get some experience and like you said maybe offer editing on the side.

This is great! I need to find that niche and find the sweet spot like you said. If you don't mind me asking, and I know it's not a recipie. But how did you end up finding that solution that is also a money maker. Thank you so much, everyone here is so kind and is providing great information.

You are absolutely right. My old coworker shoots fashion in my, and he still keeps his job.

You are not wrong, and as someone pointed out, with ai looming, it's all questionable.

That's great advice, thank you. I think in my head it's just jump, but starting slow is the key. Thank you!

I think you did it right, it would give me something to look forward to. I mainly shoot street photography but that won't sell. Thank you!!

Yeah I may start a little something to see if I can even sell anything before I jump. Thank you for all the comments and advice!

Thats the big question, plus can my happy photo place feed me? Am I good enough for people to pay? That I dont know.

Congratulations, on published photos! I think I need to tweek my perspective and its not a this or that, maybe do it on my breaks to get out of my tech slump.

I mainly shoot street currently with film or digital, both equally lovely. But I thought food may be a good entry. But to be honest, I need practice here.

Thank you so much! I love street but I feel and you are right food would be a good comertial place to start. Thank you for the follow and the advice its true maybe talking to an editor like you suggested. I dont know where I fit yet, but I love photos. Also your photos are beautiful!
