This is not a camera question. I need some advice on exporting photos to Facebook and selected individuals. I have a Nikon Z8 and shoot in RAW. I use Lightroom classic for my editing. When I have an edited photo that I am happy with and wish to share it with a friend or post it on facebook the resolution reduces significantly. The process I follow is to export the photo or a group of photos to a folder on my desktop retaining maximum resolution. Then I select them for posting on Facebook or attach one or more to an email and send. I always make a point to select maximum resolution. The pictures, although clear and properly exposed in Lightroom, are grainy and in poor focus in the Facebook post and when the email is opened. How can I correct this process so clear and properly exposed photos are posted and received by others. Thanks in advance for helpful responses.

So, I have never heard the term used as it relates to photography, but it is probably out there, and I just haven't seen it; it's called, static photography. As I see it, it would incorporate Landscape, Architecture, and other immovable objects that are stationary just waiting to be photographed. Nothing moves...they are static. In real estate it is called fixity of location. So, this title (static photography) just groups know entities into a category that covers several well established labels. I'm not quite sure how the term would be used other than as a conversation starter, but even then it has some value and utility. Just my thought of the day.

Lithium will probably be replaced by several other substances by the time my great great grandkids are born. There is so much energy research being done now, we are going to go through a period of intense competition for market share, as oil, coal, and gas are gradually replaced. 100 years from now, if we are still alive as a species, we may well have fusion power or some other super-efficient technology. We just don't know what we don't know.

Think back to the mid-1980s when early research into digital imaging showed promise. It took roughly ten years to get out of the lab and into "sandbox" mode: $30,000 Kodak dSLRs kludged together out of old Nikon and Canon film cameras. By the mid-2000s, Kodak was trying to control the bleeding of its film and paper businesses, as dSLRs were killing the film business. My former employer spent a couple million bucks on film scanners that we got about ten years' use from (1997 to 2007). Then we ripped out all our film processors and quit using film. I had run the film scanning operation. The scanners were great while we needed them for the film-to-digital transition. But I was very happy to see them go. There are just too many advantages to digital capture.

In 1996, as digital technology was in its infancy, the photo industry largely ignored it. That year, at PMAI, a consortium of companies introduced the APS film system. It was clever, but 30 years too late. In 2011, just 15 years later, APS was dead, and for all popular purposes, film had been replaced by digital cameras and smartphones. The masses never think things like that will happen, until they do. The "techies and scientists in the back room" have been at it for 10, 20, or 30 years before new products burst onto the scene and kick old ones to the curb in a shocking paradigm shift.

Development is a slow and mostly private process. Steve Jobs and his associates were dreaming about products like the iPad and iPhone as far back as 1982. There are videos of him talking cryptically about them then. It took a few decades "for all the stars to align properly..."

The Internet dates back to the mid-late 1960s and research at DARPA. But it was kept mostly in a university and government sandbox until the early-mid 1990s when Tim Berners-Lee gave us the first world-wide web technologies. 30 years later, what have we done?

Well, I am thinking of getting out of the house, like I should more, and visiting the Louvre Museum and come home with some great photos of the artwork there. I must admit, I am only an occasional photographer who takes his DSLR on vacation and for my purposes shooting on auto and jpeg serves most of my purpose for outdoor. I do shoot on manual when I get on a roll but generally have to re-educate myself on using that mode.
I see that photography in certain areas of the museum is allowed but you cannot use flash. Am guessing even with flash it would make a mess with bounce back reflection.
I am looking for some advice on where to start with manual settings. Enough light will be a big concern of course and am thinking of shooting with raw and jpeg but especially raw for insurance. What do you think? I would appreciate any input....thanks.
