Thanks for sharing. Biltmore is such a beautiful place. I have never been at Christmas time but I hear it is beautiful and worth the expense.

Like I said, you are somewhat correct. What I am saying when the very first JPEG was created, in your camera it was compressed. Since it was compressed it has lost something. Not enough to be worried about but still it has lost. When you Save AS it lost again. Not your original, but the copy has lost.
You will not see a difference for save one to save two. but you will see a difference between save on and save 10 of the same file. Just look at the file size's. That will tell you something.

I understand what you are saying.

Post the original I would love to try my hand at it. Note: post a PNG not a JPG better yet, post the raw somewhere I can pick it up.
Can you pick up the raw from here if I post it or do you want me to send it by email. I would love for you to work on it.

No compression. THAT eliminates all artifacts and problems.
Please explain. I am not sure I understand about the compression.

If you have light room you might be able to bring in some of the highlights from the raw file. It might have been possible to get a good light meter reading if you had set your aperture more towards f22 slowing down the amount of light getting through the lens. Otherwise the ND filter ( I use an adjustable one) would be your next best try. Good luck, it's great fun when you get this kind of shot.
I got the ND filters, but didn't grab them when I left. I'll know to make sure I have everything with that I might need.
It was so rainy and overcast and I thought I would need more light. Because of the rain I only got to shoot 2. Thanks for the advise
Is there any way to fix the hot spots in this scene. I was trying to get the water to show the silky effect. It was very overcast and I was standing under many trees. I shot in Raw and the setting were 1/10 7.1 ISO 100
I just photographed a wedding for a friend of mine, which I had told her I would only shoot the photos after the wedding and we would restage some of them. Well, she insisted just before she walked down the aisle that I take them. I should have said "NO" but I was trying to accomadate her because we were friends. Ofcourse, my location was bad because I came in last with the guests. There was no announcement made that after the wedding I would be taking photos and then everyone else could when I was finished. Well, I had people walking in front of the frame, I had the bride telling the bridle party to look at Aunt Sue, then look at aunt so and so, then look at my photographer and when she wasn't saying that, other guest would tell the bridle party "look this way" just asI started to press the shutter button. So the results are the pictures have everyone looking in all different directions, moving, I had one girl at my shoulder in the dressing room, shooting her camera as soon as I did. I didn't need any extra light from her camera. So, now, I have a mad friend.at ME.. When I do another wedding for a friend I will have a contract with a clause in the agreement about when guests can take pictures ( I was doing this for free so I felt I could not run everyone off so I could take decent photos.) Maybe, your nephew can get his agreement modified so you can take photos after the professioal takes his. I understand why the professional photograhy has placed this agreement in his contract. I hope this helps you understand a little more also of what a professional or amateur photographer goes thru if he/she can't control who,what, where at a wedding.

I think you did a great job with this photo...as stated before in other messages, rules can be broken, so keep on doing what you do best
Yes...rules can be broken...for specific reasons carried out to bring a specific creative result...it's not just that you have a rule and it doesn't matter whether anyone pays attention to it or not...the rules exist because certain arrangements and techniques yield certain results and are pleasing to our eye.
If the OP broke this particular rule for some specific creative effect then I could see this phrase being used but it was an accident.

I agree with you about rules, I guess the point I was trying to make is don't be afraid to photograph a subject the way "you" want to do it..and don't be afraid to break a rule if what you are trying to accomplish means doing so and if you break a rule by accident, maybe everything works out anyway..
