Take a cemetery tour they are most interesting and could provide some great photos. A couple of the hotels on Bourbon street are decorated with super looking lobbies that are worth some pictures. And most of all wander the French Quarter the balconies are fantastic. Then perhaps a shot or two at night of Cafe du Monde with all the people having their last coffee of the day and their doughnuts.

Most of all enjoy, the food the drinks and the scenery, have a great visit oh and I forgot take a plantation tour and a swamp tour. Both will provide great photo opportunities

The French Quarter - Jackson Square, Royal St, the French Market, the River Walk. I like to get out at dawn and watch the old city wake up, get the early light on the face of the cathedral from the river walk balcony area, all the street vendors, musicians and mimes setting up, the locals walking their dogs and cleaning their streets. Then coffee and beignets at Cafe du Monde (pictures first). If you enjoy street photography, the Quarter is a real treasure.

Uptown - take the streetcar from Canal St to Carrollton and back, get off and on when you see something you want to take a photo of, maybe get off at Audubon park (nice zoo there, and beautiful old live oaks). Wonderful old houses on St Charles.

Take a swamp and/or plantation tour from your hotel - there are several vendors that do this, look at the brochures and choose. If it looks like it may rain, pick one with covered boats so you can get photos anyway. It does rain a lot in New Orleans in spring.

Take your camera with you when you go out to eat, many of the restaurants are very old, have wonderful patios, interesting oyster bars, etc.

Cemetery tours and ghost tours are also fun.

I've posted lots of New Orleans photos, feel free to follow my profile topics if you'd like. Ask more questions if you need to, there's quite a few of us who live in the area or visit often.

Cemetery!!!

As a native:

Marsi Gras World has moved to next to the convention center
Best cemetary: take the st charles streetcar to Washington then walk one block toward the Mississippi River
Roof top pool at the Royal Orleans on Royal street best shots of french quarter and the river
bourbon street is an overpriced tourist trap in most instances. Visiiting musicians and locals go to Frenchman Street. Liable to see superstars, great music, fair prices and photogs usually welcome in the clubs.
finally, sailboats at West End on lake Pontchatrain

French Quarter
St. charles St.
City park
One of the several "cities of the dead"
Jean Lafitte national Wildlife preserve (or park or swamp or what ever it's called)
Oak Alley or Destrahan Plantation
One of the airboat tours

New Orleans is the one place I've been that I would call the richest in photo opportunities.
I wish I were going back tomorrow!!!

Mark, you have a lot of good advice from earlier responses, and I'll provide you some photos taken there that may be of service. Don't know how long you plan to be there, but there is a lot to see. The cemeteries there are unique because the water table prevents underground burials. My favorite is the Metairie Cemetery, it's not far from City Park. A lot to see in the French Quarter, and don't miss going to the Napoleon House for lunch and a muffaletta sandwich. If you hear, or read in the local newspaper, about a jazz funeral, you may find it interesting.
