Welcome to Ed Hineline Jr. Photography.  I started these pages out of my own frustration to easily find clear and concise information about photography equipment and techniques to improve my skills.  I want to know how great images are shot.  I want to know if it is standard practice to use Photoshop or some other post processing software to manipulate images.  I want to know what makes a photographer great in today's world of digital cameras as opposed to those that shot images with film?

The very first microstock photography image I ever sold made me a spectacular $0.24. Despite all the work, anguish, and disappointment I experienced to reach this point, that $0.24 was one of the most fulfilling photography objectives I've experienced.

An enthusiast is "One who is filled with enthusiasm; one who is ardently absorbed in an interest or pursuit;" (Answer's.com). I consider myself a photography enthusiast.  I have been involved in photography for many years. From working in our family owned photo processing lab, to shooting pictures of events, to selling micro stock photography.
