 * How can I use a shortcode IN the image caption?
 * The theme I am using would greatly benefit from being able to use say the WP 
   Social shortcode in the image caption to display share info.

 * What theme are you using? Are you using just the WP galleries?

 * Yep just the WP Galleries with [SkyLab](http://themeforest.net/item/skylab-portfolio-photography-wordpress-theme/4740718?sso?WT.ac=search_item&WT.seg_1=search_item&WT.z_author=MegaTheme)
 * HTML works fine, just not shortcodes. I was hoping there would be an easyish 
   way to do it.
