How the hell did you guys learn to take pics like all of the ones above? They are all great.

Mostly it's framing the subject, determining where you want your focus, and if it's a long-exposure shot (like the blurry one in ritz's post or any night picture where everything is clear), determining how long an exposure you need.
Essentially, I just fuck around with my camera until I get the pic I want.
I've never taken any photography courses (I wish I had, and may yet), so everything I've done is just based on me experimenting. Most digicams nowadays can take a nice shot if you frame the subject right and focus on what you want clear.

When you're going for a lack of graininess in your images, big megapixels and large lenses come into play. However, for 90% of folks out there, it can be a bit grainy and still look good.
