Mount Everest at DuskTravel is all about escape, and the urge to get away often leads us out of cities and into the countryside. In this gallery, get tips for taking the best landscape shots. Here, Mount Everest (at left) glows at dusk. This panorama photo was taken shortly after sunset from Gokyo Ri, Nepal, in 2004. (This photo and caption were submitted to Your Shot.) Photo Tip: When shooting in cold weather, or extreme conditions such as snow and sleet, it's important not to change your lenses outdoors. You never want to get moisture or condensation inside the camera body. Get more cold weather photography tips »
