That makes it easy for me! :) I can see the Melbourne City from 24km away! (straight line, 35km to drive)

Damn, one week too early. I'm flying to Hawaii two days after roll over. Could have been some cool shots from the plane. Or even photographing First Class from my seat down the back. Oh well, I'll just have to shoot my score from any challenge to that those in the top 10.

So, to avoid DMNC, should we put the distance in feet or meters for the title of the image?

Someone with an awesome astronomy setup is going to put one up in lightyears and just throw the rest of us totally out of perspective. .

I take it that doesn't mean the object in the distance has to be a city skyline? Could be a tree or a mountain too or whatever. Or am I wrong in my thinking here?

Take a photograph of something far away. Make it funny, bizarre, pretty, or whatever -- just so long as it is interesting and far away.
Could be anything.
I havent entered the challenge, the opportunity has not arisen, I still have time but it is looking a bit bleak. Shame as I had loads of ideas (obviously)!
Grrr!

How distant , is distant enough?
I don't want to enter and get a load of DNMC, because it's not deemed far enough.

I'm having the same issue. I took shots yesterday, but I assume that people would think it's not far away. Then problem is, most things are pretty closed in around here. You have to go away to get far away. :)
