What’s it actually like working as a camera operator?

I’m considering going into cinematography and I’m curious what the job is actually like from people who do it for a living.
Do you enjoy it? What do you like and dislike about it?
How much do you usually make, and is the work/income fairly consistent or does it depend heavily on projects?
Would you recommend cinematography as a career? If you could go back and choose again, would you still do it?
Also, how did you get your first job in the industry, and is film school worth it?
I’d be interested to hear both the good and bad sides of the job, and anything you wish you knew before getting into it.

My first large Create airship — can you improve it?

My first large Create airship — can you improve it?

I built this large steampunk airship in Create, and it is probably the biggest Create project I've made so far.

It currently has:

  • Steam-powered propulsion
  • Two main propellers
  • A rear steering propeller
  • Redstone-controlled propulsion
  • Electrical lighting throughout the ship
  • A large balloon
  • A working airship that can actually fly

Important: Don't use the steering wheel to control the airship. The steering wheel is currently mostly decorative. The actual steering is controlled by two levers — one controls the left propeller and the other controls the right propeller. Using different propellers allows the airship to turn.

However, some of the propulsion still uses Creative motors. I don't have enough experience with Create yet to replace everything with a proper survival-compatible power system.

So I'm sharing the schematic in case anyone wants to experiment with it.

Feel free to modify the ship however you want. You can completely redesign the internal machinery, replace the Creative motors, improve the propulsion, change the control systems, or even modify the structure if necessary.

My main goal is to keep the general idea and appearance of the airship while making the machinery more practical and fully powered by normal Create mechanics.

The modpack I'm using is All of Create.

This is my first serious Create engineering project, so I'm really curious to see what more experienced Create players can do with it!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Please remove the moss blocks from the schematic. I used them temporarily to create the schematic, so they are not part of the actual airship.

Thanks to anyone who wants to take a look at it!

What are some hidden tricks or lesser-known features of the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P?

I recently got an Osmo Mobile 8P and I’m looking for tricks, shortcuts, creative techniques or little-known features that aren’t really mentioned in the official tutorials/manual.
Especially interested in:
unusual camera movements
hidden/less obvious gimbal controls
cool ways to use ActiveTrack
tricks for smoother cinematic shots
combinations of buttons/modes that aren’t obvious
anything you’ve discovered after using it for a long time
Basically, what is your “I wish DJI had told me this” trick?

Looking for a completely free RAW photo editor for iPad?

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a RAW photo editor for iPad that can replace RawTherapee.
My only requirement is that it has to be completely free. I don’t want subscriptions, paid features, free trials, or watermarks.
It should support RAW editing with features like exposure, white balance, curves, color adjustments, sharpening, and noise reduction.
Does such an app exist on iPad? What would you recommend?
Thanks!

Is the MacBook Air M5 with 16 GB RAM good for game development?

I have one more question: Is the MacBook Air M5 with 16 GB of RAM good for light game development?
I use game engines like GDevelop and Godot.

Is MacBook Air M5 a good choice for casual photo editing?

Hi,
I’m thinking about getting a MacBook Air 13” with these specs:
M5 chip
10-core GPU
16GB RAM
512GB SSD
I mainly want it for:
casual photo editing (RAW files, nothing professional)
watching movies and general everyday use
light multitasking
Do you think this would be a good long-term choice, or is it more than I actually need?

Thanks!
