At Elemental LED we work every day to conserve the amount of energy the world consumes through artificial light. And we know that LED lighting is the most earth-friendly artificial light source available. This earth day we would like to pay homage to the earth’s own amazing natural light source—the sun! Because when it comes to light, that continuously burning ball in the sky comes 2^nd to none.

To celebrate the sun, we are offering a photo contest on capturing natural light. We want you to send us a photo of the sun’s beauty. You could capture the sun’s light reflected off surfaces or you could point your camera right into the sky. The light could be filtered through clouds, windows, air and spaces, or not filtered at all. The possibilities are limitless.

Update: For information on how to safely and effectively photograph the sun, please read this article by Digicam.
