How you store it shouldn't really matter, but logic would say if you store it uncompressed you are making life easier for the pressure vessel. I've found I need to top up the pressure on mine (which has a valve at the top under the saddle) every year or so.
As for photos, seat half way is stupid. I'd accept either up or down, but hallfway just looks like you have a gravel dropper installed. -
they forgot to put pedals on. idiots. You can't ride a bike without pedals. so why photograph without.
I wanted a starling, now less so

Staged shots, seatpost up. Candid shots seat post down. Never in between.
That being said my Fox Transfer still actuates like shit and I'm beginning to wonder if it's because I have ti so far into the frame that the cable is exiting the frame at a funny angle and causing an issue? It's a Jagwire cable so should be decent but has anyone got a recommendation for an excellent cable for dropper.
I appreciate this is dreadfully mundane.
Edit: I just remembered I have an unused Nokon Universal kit I bought and didn't use for my S-Works Allez so I might give that a shot on it...

A few days ago was actually wondering what was going on with this Sterling...
Weird seat height with a shitload of post showing. Looks like a 5cm dropper:(

I don't really want to ask these questions, but now I can't let the thoughts go:
What's the correct placement (within it's travel) of a dropper seatpost when not in use? Should it be stored compressed or like a torque wrench uncompressed? (Edit: i sort of know the answer to this and therefore the next question is a leading question)
And when taking photos of a MTB with a dropper where should the seat post sit? I've seen people slam it (@Dammit eg.) which I can't get my head around... Is that to show how gnarly it is? Or should it be fully extended to show actual amount of travel and rider fit? Obvs this doesn't actually matter but I keep thinking about it.
