I mean no offence to the photographers out there. But when you click a scene with your camera you kinda spoil the view for yourself. So all in all if you take a camera with you on the trip, you spoil the perfectness of scenes for yourself to share the imperfect photographs with others. I will explain below why i say your photographs "imperfect".
Look to the moon, stare at the peak or stare down from the peak, but no, don't touch your camera. I would recommend don't even take it with you on such trips. If you don'h have the camera with you, you wont just click a picture and move on, you will stand there for as long as you need to absorb the nectar of the scene. Because you know it is a rare event in your life. Right then you realize the importance of being there at that very moment.
Camera is an invention of mankind made to enable us to share what we see. It is an instrument which gives you the feel of being somewhere you have not been, now, that is unethical. no matter how good your camera is, nothing can replace wind splashes on your face when you are on top of a snow covered peak, the silence and the satisfaction. I don't want me to hold a camera there; I want to lie down and watch the absolutely clear sky (it is less oxygen up there so the sky is slightly darker).
That is what science does, it tries to prove things once and for all, it replaces experience with the established rules (which are proved wrong overtime, all of them). You cannot establish a universal rule by performing a small experiment. But it does not stop at establishing a rule, then they tell this rule to other people, but the people have never actually experienced anything like it, yet they are forced to believe. There is a serious lack of craving for experience in most of the people in our society today, camera has helped lessening that craving.
