Yesterday, ExpertPhotography became 3 months old, and we’ve started to build quite a strong daily following, but it’s always hard to tell which posts are going to be the most popular, in fact, I’m usually very surprised by what people have enjoyed the most. So I thought I’d put it to you, the readers, to see if there’s any particular aspects of photography that you’d like to learn more about? Basics, composition, gear guides, tips, insights, what do you want to learn?
Leave a comment telling me what exactly it is you want to learn about and I’ll get started on writing tutorials for the most popular suggestions, and if I’ve already written something on it, I’ll point you in the right direction. Hope this is of some help to you, and thanks for reading – Josh.
Ps. I spend a lot of time on Twitter and Facebook, so if you do too, come and join me and a bunch of other readers for more 1-0n-1 conversations.
Hi, is there any chance of hints/pointers to buying a decent monitor for post work? I am happy tweaking sliders in Lightroom etc., but if my monitor is rubbish, my results will be too. Are there things I should look for that will give me correct black level / contrast / colour?
Many thanks.

Hi! I just wanted to tell you that this is my favorite photography blog...thank you for such wonderful posts, I really, really enjoy reading them. Could you please elaborate a bit on light meters? I was always trying to get the right exposure with my camera´s internal light meter, but as i recently discovered...the camera doesn´t always get it right. I cannot begin to tell you how liberating it has been for me to just ignore it and go with my instincts :) I´ve taken far better pictures by doing this. I´d also like to buy an external light meter, but don´t know how to use them! Thanks!
metering the light on a canon 7D how does this work when focusing for a shot?

Hey Josh First of all, thanks for sharing all your tricks. Could you perhaps do a post on colour profiles and how to get the colours right when you order prints on the web? I have notised that some companies share their colour profile but how should that be used when you for instance normally use Lightroom to post process your photos?
Hey Martin, I'll put it on my list, have you seen the post I wrote today which talks about colour profiles for the web? http://www.expertphotography.com/how-to-professionally-share-your-photos-on-the-internet
