Is it at all possible to take pictures as good as these with a Canon S2 IS?
I guess I am just horrible at picture taking, and have no clue about processing pictures afterwards
What's the best way to learn to take pictures like this? I've tried reading books but for some reason I just can't figure it out, maybe the books I had weren't that good..

your eyes are much more important than your gear. practice practice practice. look at other's shots and determine what specifically you like about them, then go out and try to recreate that.
for certain things, you do need specific gear, but by and large it is all about determining what about what you're seeing you want to capture...

I think my biggest problem is I need to study more and know what all how all of the manual settings work.

Very nice. What are you using for the lens flare? And is that PS perspective or is the building really that tall?

These were taken with a powershot A80 on manual. Not the best pictures, but I was amazed at the color that was brought out. I had the camera for quite a while before that and always shot on auto. The pictures were always blah. Manual is the way to go.

I think the shape of the building is misleading you to think it's taller than it is: http://www2.wherry.com/sfo/skyline2/p000099-midsize.jpg
The building is indeed really tall. There is some barrel distortion from the 17-40mm lens I was using; I've corrected the distortion in my other shots, but for that one I decided to leave the picture as is.

Some of my faves:
Abandoned
Fountain
Mother cap stone
All were taken with my EOS 350D and kit lens. The first 2 were HDR exposures further processed with Photomatix.
The last was converted to B&W with Photoshop using a 'red filter'.

Came out a little underexposed, but probably one of the better ones I've taken this year.

Yep those look better than a lot of the pictures I take. How did you learn the manual settings? I had an A70 and upgraded to the S3IS/SD630 combo and never seem to get pictures that look even close to the ones posted here. Although I know that a lot of these pro's use DSLR's and such.
bob hall pier - 1/640s f/10.0 at 35.0mm iso100
silhouette - 1/500s f/10.0 at 40.0mm iso100 but heavily processed
spider - 1/80s f/16 at 35mm iso100 with off-camera flash
marina - 44s f/22 at 17mm iso100
capital ceiling - 1/50 f/8 at 17mm iso100
duck - 1/640s f/6.3 at 200.0mm iso200
All the ones from yesterday were shot using aperture priorty at f/8. No PP done besides unsharp mask and/or BW conversion. The sky is deep blue because the buildings reflect a lot of light and in this rare occasion the sky was underexposed.
I shoot RAW to adjust exposure and white balance, but after that I hardly ever do any type of PP besides USM. No fakey stuff here for the most part.
