Just a couple of photos that I have played with in Photoshop; the first is from a tutorial in Digital Photo magazine but I thought it looked quite cool and the second is a photo taken with an old point and shoot compact in Prague.

Loving the Prague shot. I stood in the same spot and took a few pics there. Beautiful place.

Just messing around with long exposures whilst being stuck at home bored.
Use a hue/saturation layer in Photoshop with the "colorize" option and a hue of around 30, I also used a combination of adjusting levels and the burn tool to darken the sky. The first photo also has the crow and flock of birds superimposed from two other photos and quite a few other adjustments so they blend in nicely. As I mentioned, it's taken from this month's issue of Digital Photo that also has a really good guide on the CD.
Hope that helps, can go into more detail if you want

Thanks I think I've got that colour now but still need to work out how to get the sky darker, etc. I presume you masked out the rest of the image to avoid spoiling that one.
I'll look into the magazine as well.

It was done by moving the colour levels to the left under the Saturation sliders in your Develop pane.
I removed all the other colours (mostly yellow) and the boosted the red a wee bit. You are essentially making a mono picture by subtracting the colour.
Hope that helps... lots of tips on the Adobe website
What settings did you use to get that effect in the second picture from the first
