Not my experience- I shot in the cemetaries a number of times when I lived in NO and never had any problem. Of course, you need to be careful and observant there as well as anywhere else in that city, but I never encountered anything like that. My favorite is Metairie Cemetary-lots of scenic old tombs and statuary.

Another recommendation is all of the beautiful old oak trees in City Park and Audubon Park

Last time I was there shooting you could shoot St. Louis Cathedral as long as you didn't use flash. Early in the morning there was no one there so they might let you set up a tripod and shoot if you made a "donation" and asked nicely. Didn't have my 4x5 then but would love a LF shot of their ceiling.

My churches page has some interiors of Immaculate Conception Church in NO at the bottom, with a GPS map link:

It is usually open, and they have not minded picture taking.

No, it's not a college bar although it is frequented by a number of the faculty and students from nearby Tulane and Loyola Universities as well as the more sophisticated and refined residents of the City. I was somewhat stretching the relation there.
It a great bar with good ambiance. I've always enjoyed it.
I'm sorry I didn't see this thread when it first posted. I travel to New Orleans frequently on business. I like to take the ferry across the river in the evening and shoot the city skyline at sunset. Ferry is free for walk-ons and $1 for cars. The paved pathway along the levee goes for several miles with good photo opportunities at many points along the way. This one caught with Provia and my Fuji 617. My next trip I plan to do it with 4x5 and a variety of lenses. Whatever I can carry on the flight. Cheers. BG
All natural images are analog. But the retina converts them to digital on their way to the brain.
Excellent recommendation! I live across the river and take the ferry to work. It is the best view of the city.
Thom: Yes it's a very nice ride. This one grabs your ferryboat in motion.
I've also done a number of shots up-river looking back at the city from under the bridge.
Are there any other locations in Old Algiers you would recommend I try? I'm starting to know my way around there pretty well. Cheers. BG
