NOLA

Here are a few shots taken a couple weeks ago in the French Quarter. Taken with the K-5II and Tamron 17-50. Whenever I get the chance I like to try some street shooting.

I always like your New Orleans stuff Harry. ; Did you blur the background in the carriage shot?

 

live the street performers, that there's 4/5 of a bluegrass band, needs a gittar to go with that reso

 

Thanks Gary.

John, the carriage shot was at 1/50 while panning and countinuous focus. I did lower clarity on the background just to make the carriage stand out more. The blur did come from panning.

 

A couple more.

Lafitte's Bar lies on Bourbon St. in the French Quarter. It is reputed to be the oldest bar in the US, built around 1722. What better place for it to be than on Bourbon.

Nice series, Harry!
