I had a couple of questions regarding what I’d done to those truck photos so I thought I’d give a quick answer. First, I do all my photo editing in Adobe Photoshop CS2. I have a canon 30D and those photos were taken with my 50mm 1.8 lens.
Here is a comparison on this photo
the original on the left and the edited version on the right. **I should add that when I took these photos it was slightly overcast. Just FYI.
The tool I use the very most when editing any of my photos is the curves tool in photoshop. I use it almost solely, except when I’m converting photos to black and white, I use a few other things for that.
I took the original photo here and using curves bumped the contrast. I then used the burn tool to darken the color in the clouds and around the edges of the photo. I went a little crazy with the burn tool on this photo actually but I like the effect.

I used this action called pastel vibe and then made a few adjustments in curves and pulled out that burn tool again. Nothing too fancy going on here.
And for the lady who asked what a QUAD is…
That there’s a quad. The kids just love going for quad rides with grandpa.
