🤯 Some experiences deserve a spot on your bucket l 🤯 Some experiences deserve a spot on your bucket list, and hearing your favourite movie soundtracks performed live is one of them.

As a huge movie person and Hans Zimmer fan, I was so excited when I found out his The Next Level tour was coming to Perth.

Here are just a few highlights from opening night of the Australian tour, from hearing scores from Interstellar and Pirates of the Caribbean to Dune live and some seriously goosebump-inducing moments.

There’s something so special about hearing these scores live with a 19-piece band, incredible vocals and the full production around you. Definitely one of those experiences that feels even better in person. 🎼 🎻

A big thank you to @ticketekaustralia for having me at @RACArena for opening night! 🫶🏼

If you’re in Australia and want to experience it for yourself, the tour continues throughout October, with dates in:

📍 Brisbane Entertainment Centre — 20 October 2026
📍 Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne — 24 October 2026
📍 Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney — 28 October 2026

🎟️ Tickets are available through @ticketekaustralia.

Seeing Hans Zimmer live with a full orchestra. 🎼🎻

I had the chance to attend the opening night of @HansZimmerLive’s The Next Level tour in Australia at @RACArena in Perth with @ticketekaustralia, and honestly, this has been on my bucket list for YEARS.

As a huge movie person, hearing some of Hans Zimmer’s most iconic scores performed live while scenes from films like Interstellar, Inception and Pirates of the Caribbean played around us was such a surreal experience. There’s something completely different about hearing a film score live with a full orchestra and band.

The Australian tour has already kicked off in Perth, but there are still plenty of opportunities to catch Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level around the country:

📍 Adelaide Entertainment Centre — 15 October 2026
📍 Brisbane Entertainment Centre — 20 October 2026
📍 Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne — 24 October 2026
📍 Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney — 28 October 2026

The show features a 19-piece band, vocalists including Australian singer Lisa Gerrard, orchestral arrangements, electronic sound design and plenty of immersive production.

If you’re a film lover, this is definitely one to add to your list. 🎬🎶

So, who are you taking with you? 👀

If you’ve ever wondered how to take better photos on your phone, these are a few of the camera phone settings on @samsungwithgalaxy I’ve found make the biggest difference to how my photos turn out.

Nothing complicated, just a few small changes that can help you get more intentional with your composition, lighting and editing.

I’ve also included the settings I use most, the different focal lengths I used and what I do with my photos after I’ve taken them 👀

📷 All photos are edited on @lightroom, which is free to use on your phone.

#travel #phototips #travelphotography #lightroom @samsungau @samsungmobile

Turn on your gridlines in your camera settings.

Using the grid lines experiment with different compositions.

Shooting photos in 16:9 gives you more space for edits. 

On a samsung phone click on the four dots then select 16:9.

16:9 is also great for using on Instagram stories and thumbnails for Instagram reels.

Don't forget to adjust your exposure especially if your highlights are blown out.

Exposure settings will depend on the lighting conditions on the day. Generally always better to make it lower since it's easier to recover the highlights and shadows in post editing.

Underrated tip for shooting photos and videos. Experiment with different focal lengths when shooting in the same location or samw subject.

Few examples of what you can use for thr focal lengths.

Always best to shoot in RAW so you have more flexibility when editing later. 

On a @samsungwithgalaxy phone you can choose to shoow RAW or RAW & JPEG.

@lightroom is free and essy to use on your phone.

You can streamline your editing by using presets.

I've made lightroom presets that I use for editing most of my photos. You can download them using the link in my profile.

You might recognise the rabbit… but can you guess You might recognise the rabbit… but can you guess the city? 🐰

If you see a suspicious number of little white bunnies around a European city, you might have found the right place…

Miffy was “born” in 1955, when Dutch illustrator Dick Bruna began telling his eldest son bedtime stories about a little white bunny while the family was holidaying in Egmond aan Zee. That little bunny eventually became Miffy. 🐰

In the Netherlands, she’s known as nijntje, short for konijntje, meaning “little bunny”. And while she may have travelled far beyond the Netherlands, she’s still very much a local icon here.

Dick Bruna’s simple illustrations have remained remarkably recognisable over the years, although Miffy has had a few tiny makeovers since her first appearance. The last new Miffy book was published in 2011, but her little ears and dot eyes are still everywhere around her hometown.

And even if you’re not a Miffy superfan, this city is worth visiting for its cosy cafés, historic streets and peaceful canals without quite as many crowds as Amsterdam. ☕️

A few things to add to your Utrecht itinerary:

🛶 Take a canal cruise along the Oudegracht

⛪️ Climb the Dom Tower, the tallest church tower in the Netherlands

🐰 Go on a Miffy hunt around the city, from the Miffy traffic light to Nijntje Pleintje and the Nijntje Museum

🚶🏻‍♀️ Wander along the Nieuwegracht and Oudegracht canals

🏰 Visit Kasteel de Haar, about 30 minutes from the city, for a very pretty day trip

And if you’re wondering where exactly this place is it’s 📍 Utrecht, Netherlands 🇳🇱

📷 Photos edited with my Fujifilm Lightroom presets.
