Claustral Photo journey

22-03-2026

Brooke, Jason, Gadget and me.

When Brooke invited us on a Claustral trip we thought why not.

Whe she said she’d like to take her time and enjoy the ambiance I thought it a perfect excuse to take the camera and phaff about.

Of course thta meant I became the slow one. but I’m good with that.

After the more challenging nature of the classic Haast Pass canyons we visited last month the simplicity of Claustral was surprisingly pleasant.

Just being able to switch off and enjoy being immersed in it beauty.

Plus I had a break for rope duties, winning.

But enough words this was a photo trip

Sometimes I wonder why I bother with a camera when Jasons Samsung phone gets shots like this. I know my camera has HDR and I can exposure bracket and stuff that gives more control but the phone does all that automatically ©Jason
