With a Smartphone, you are shooting different Pictures than with a big Camera. Have you noticed this already as well? You are more spontaneous, you can’t zoom it (well, you shouldn’t), you can tap to focus and with a big screen, you can check better what will be visible in the shot in the end. After arriving in Napoli or Naples in Italy, I took this as a chance and just strolled around Town, with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Smartphone and a battery pack to eventually recharge. No big Camera, no second lens, just a Smartphone Photo Walk, or Insta Walk in Naples with a Samsung Galaxy S7. February in Naples in Italy is off-season, therefore there aren’t many other Tourists around.
I started at Napoli Centrale Train Station/Napoli Garibaldi, walked towards the water, grabbed a Fried Pizza on the way, back into the City and later back to the Station. At the very End, you find a Google Map with my walking Route for Napoli and under some Picture a short description. I hope you enjoy this new kind of series here on JoyDellaVita to display what I see during my Travels in a somehow easier way.
As a note, I did not edit the Photos on Instagram (only the ones I actually posted there), I edit all my Blog Pictures on Adobe Lightroom CC.
New to Naples? This walk through the city center is one of several Naples stories in my Smartphone Sightseeing Walk series. For more of the region, browse everything about Campania or the Campania category, and see my Italy travel guides. Hungry? My Fried Pizza in Naples post shows where to eat on the way. The walk is a good free half-day sightseeing route from the station, and a great Naples photo walk idea.
