Where did you learn to take pics like that?

Lots and lots of reading, classes, and most importantly, practice...

I also need it for my job - I work for a manufacturer of all types of photography and studio equipment. I constantly have to test new products and ideas (hence the craziness below), so I'm able to spent a lot of time shooting.

And BAHaymay is correct of course, I use a Nikon D90.

Any of the pics in your flickr have post-processing?

I think it's safe to say that all of them have had some post processing done. Any picture shot in RAW will need contrast/sharpening/color adjustments, since the camera doesn't process those. Some pictures were also processed as HDR images (the antique cars, for example).

Maybe your files are too big? Try making them smaller.

Compress the picture before uploading.  If you have MS Office this is very easy to do in MS Tools>MS Picture Manager.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
