So, I made the mistake of peeking in at Shrew’s Place (Shrew’s Daily Shutters) with very little time to spare this morning.  Mr. Baby Boy has fifteen month shots in 45 minutes, and I still need a shower, but…you know, some things like blogging and photography are more important!!  Shrew has a post on HDR…I had never heard of it before, and still don’t have a clue.  But I went searching to see if it’s possible to do it using Elements 6 (which is what I’m stuck with for now.)  And, sadly, I have a lot of research to do to find what I’m looking for.  However, I did find some color stuff in Elements that I hadn’t discovered before, so I played for a minute.  This photo looks way overprocessed, I know, but I’m still amazed at what it could do in five short minutes of playing.  Take a look.

Boy, I have a lot to learn, especially now that I found this little color curve thingy.
