Don't worry ma'am, I know what I'm doing :q:
Went through my old city photos from a few months ago, and done a bit of tweaking.

What camera and lens were you using for these? Love them all.
A Facepuncher designed the decals on the car in the first three shots. What was his name again?

Ugh, so fuzzy. I can't take night shots for my life.
I'm pretty new to taking photos with a dslr, can someone tell me how to make this a better photo in photoshop? Like how to bring out the colors? This one is raw.
Just foolin around. Not me in the picture

You can't.
This is beyond the help of photoshop. Post processing is like makeup. It can't really change how someone looks, just enhance certain features. If you use too much of it, it becomes unrecognizable.
Putting makeup on meth addict will not make her a model.
Retake the shot. Low ISO, long exposure. Shoot wide open unless you want to get into [url=http://stopshootingauto.com/2008/04/16/what-is-bulb-mode/]bulb mode.[/url] The camera needs to be PERFECTLY steady. Think of the moon as the sun, you wont get (in general) good shots if the sun is directly in your frame.
If you use bulb mode, stop your lens down to its sharpest aperture
(google your lens for a review), and turn the ISO all the way down to 100 (or if you're a lucky bastard with a 5D like the car man above, 50). An exposure around 5 minutes would do the trick.

actually, it does.
the models aren't anything that special, good lighting, makeup, and PS make all of the difference

use a tripod, low iso, long shutter time
lock up the mirror (or use live-view mode)
in photoshop, fill-light up, and exposure down to balance it all out
Went on a session with a Corvette C6 Z06 Ron Fellows Edition today. The owner let me drive it. Let's just say it's fast.

This image is paltry in comparison. But, it was taken on a 2mp iPhone camera, and I just wanted to gauge what kind of effects I can get out of its tiny lens

Hell if I know why the hell CloudApp rotated it.
Man, that's a pretty nice photo.
Can you link a high-res one I can use as a wallpaper?

Here's something of mine from a few years ago, took this at a friend's cottage.
scrolling down that picture I was all "Ooooh, aahhhhhh, whoaaaa-FUCKING TIME STAMP"
Had the camera for years and never bothered to figure out how to turn that off. Unfortunately, any other photos I have that would meet the criteria for this thread have a similar timestamp.
Still, it makes me feel good knowing that the arts mod liked my photo, aside from the timestamp...
heh, it's easily edited out if ya know how, still a bugger in general. I honestly don't know why cameras do that by default anymore, or why they make it so ungodly huge.
Still, sunsets like that are awesome, I get them every so often in my area.

[url=http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/polaroid-pdc-5070-black/1707-6501_7-31383148.html]My Camera[/url] has got to be at least 5 years old, so they may not anymore, Iunno. Another problem is I have no clue how to use photoshop/gimp/PDN/MSPaint, so I won't/can't be doing any editing.
And sunsets like that are great photo-ops, they tend to look amazing.

Taken on the waterfront with my iPhone.
Also, loving the tractor image, looks amazing.
