Gear and Tips for Your Everest Trekking Adventure
Nepal is a photographer's dream, especially the Everest region. But shooting in high-contrast environments brings challenges. Here is how to capture the Mount Everest summit and surrounding peaks.
Cold kills batteries. Keep spare batteries warm inside your jacket. This is crucial during the freezing mornings of an Everest expedition or base camp trek.
The magic happens at sunrise. 'Alpenglow'—when the peaks turn orange—lasts only minutes. Be ready to capture the Everest summit glowing in the morning light.
A wide-angle is essential for landscapes, but a telephoto lens compresses the background, making the Mount Everest summit look as massive as it feels.
Dust and moisture are enemies. Bring a dry bag. And remember, the best camera is the one you have with you on your Everest trekking journey.
