Photographing the photographer

My son, Mark, recently entered a photograph in the Herald Journal Photography Contest.  His photograph was published, along with other favorites, in the Herald Journal last Sunday.  As I looked at his photo I remembered that I had been with him when he took the picture, in fact, I photographed him shooting the picture.  If I had used HDR, as Mark did, my colors would be truer to what it looked like, and I'd like mine almost as much as his.
