The photographs are then merged and tone-mapped in post-production to create a single photograph with great color and tone.

These photographs were made during Kevin’s travels around New England, including Walden Pond, Minuteman National Historical Park and downtown Concord, MA. Also included are photographs from Quechee Gorge in Vermont, a panorama from the Scarborough, Maine seacoast as well as images from a trip to St. Lucia in the Caribbean.

It occured to me today that I should hold a competition for it, where the person who donates the most to Partners in Health receives the print. Rather than hold an auction where only one person pays, I thought that the collective efforts of many people competing with their donations would raise more for Partners in Health.

About the Fundraiser

I’m offering to provide a 50-34 inch mounted canvas print of this sunset scene I photographed while visiting St. Lucia in November 2009 to the person or organization who makes the largest donation on my page for Partners in Health. Click on the link or the First Giving widget in the right sidebar on this page to donate. Donors may re-visit the page and make additional donations to in order to compete to be the highest donor in order to receive the print, which will be personally signed by Kevin Jacobus. Whoever has made the largest contribution by midnight January 31st will receive the print. If there is a tie for donation amount, a drawing will be held among the highest donors to determine a winner. Donations are securely processed by First Giving and are sent directly to Partners in Health.

About the Photograph

HDR photograph of Jalousie Beach on the island of St. Lucia by Kevin Jacobus

HDR photograph of Jalousie Beach on the island of St. Lucia by Kevin Jacobus

This image is an HDR image of a view of Jalousie Beach on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. This HDR (High-dynamic-range) photograph was achieved by capturing multiple standard photographs using exposure bracketing. The images were then merged into a single image and tone-mapped to reduce the dynamic range, or contrast ratio, of the entire image, while retaining localized contrast to match how the human eye perceives a scene-essentially to represent the whole dynamic range while retaining realistic color and contrast.
