It gets saved to your MEDIA_ROOT directory, unless you specify:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#filefield
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='some/path')
which will upload the image to that directory under the MEDIA_ROOT
path.
If you're using a custom form, you also need to pass in request.FILES
like so:
form = NewForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=myobject)
and ensure that your form has the correct enctype:
<form action="." method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!-- your form here -->
