An iconic photo in New Orleans. For several years, this shot was not available as the park was being renovated. But now everything is in place.
B&W just has better contrast and "umph" than color. B&W is just more moody.
I used my D-600 with the 24-70 kit lens. I've lost the exposure, but I did push the ISO up to 2400 for a higher shutter speed. Nik Special Effex Pro did the B&W conversion.
