Thought I might chime in with some camera/photo knowledge to make up for my usual car noob questions.
I use imgur for quick and easy uploads, but they still compress images slightly and have an upload limit. Flickr is unbeatable for quality and it where I upload all my good stuff.
And Smeeeb, I've only briefly used Lightroom a couple years back and its far more straight forward and fluid for photo processing than Photoshop, so I'd definitely recommend it for that.
I use Photoshop cs5 with camera raw though as I'm much more comfortable in it, I use that heaps in my uni course for rendering sketches and all though Art and VCD in high school, so know it back to front.
If your camera allows it shoot in RAW (or RAW + Jpeg if you like), makes images a whole lot more manipulatable as you're working with uncompressed files that have yet to be converted to jpeg by your camera. There's clarity adjustment available in Photoshop Camera Raw, and a bunch of other stuff you can't use with Jpegs.
