Every so often, on the right night, I'll camp out in my backyard and take long exposures of the sky. This was taken with the Tokina 11-16 @ 11mm, f/2.8, ISO 400, 30-second exposure. I shoot in RAW, did some minor tweaks, and then did auto levels on photoshop CS3. Hope you guys like! :)

lots of LP in the bottom RH corner . Clouds always ruins night time shots . If this is your first try then try pointing away from any LP source and clouds if you can avoid them .

Yeah, I'm no stranger to light pollution, definitely a nuisance. That's from the orange street lights which aren't very far away. Where I live isn't detached enough from civilization. I take lots of shots like this, I kind of thought the clouds added to it personally.
