Flambeau--A burning torch, especially one carried in procession. This was shot from a temple procession, in which the devotees carry the flambeau right in front of the procession followed by ornamented elephants carrying the God or Goddess.
Colour changing torch in the A540 underpass on the Wirral Way.
After i took the previous photo my rear bike light ran out of battery. So i set the camera to continuous shooting and had a bit of a mess around with the torch. Its really handy to be able to change the colour of the torch with a quick button press, plenty of more fun to be had with this over the winter :)
On 9-9-18, one of the UP Olympic Torch units darts under the old CNW coaling tower at DeKalb, IL, as the engineer gives a wave.

I am thinking to myself, why is it that certain places have country roads which take you through some stunning scenery seem to have an element of antisocial behaviour attached to them?
Take the photo above, how often do you take a drive through some gorgeous country lanes and come across the burnt out shell of a motor car?
I feel a campaign coming on to do something about this, I am really fed up of the amount of times I go somewhere in this country which is beautiful only to find that the scene is spoilt by dumped rubbish and torched cars.
These small wildflower seed pods burt this time of year and create what to me look like little torches.

Torch ginger, such as this example at the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Bathsheba, Barbados, is often used in floral arrangements.
This ombre bloom -- known as a Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily -- sure stood out along the Arizona highway during our travels. This photo was taken at 800 ISO in the late afternoon as the sun set behind a hill.
This is quite a large, spectacular flower, growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Photo was taken on my last visit, on 6 October 2014.
"Now cultivated throughout the tropics, torch ginger is thought to be native to Indonesia, Malaysia and southern Thailand (via Flora of China), though other sites suggest a native distribution restricted to a few islands in Indonesia. Whatever its origin, widescale planting of Etlingera elatior has made torch ginger the hallmark species of this genus of approximately 70 species. That's a very loose approximation, because researcher Dr. Axel Dalberg Poulsen reports that Borneo alone contains 29 species...."

Venus Optics Laowa 105mm smooth transfocus. I believe both apertures wide open but I'm writing this a couple of weeks later.
When the original idea was a bust, we turned around and used the much darker background to do some backlit stuff. As soon as i seen this one, I knew it was the winner.

As Memorial Day tribute, we carry a torch for all of you that gave the ultimate sacrifice. As Viet Nam era veteran I knew a few of you.
No photoshop on this. Just me, the camera, a darkroom, a torch & bits and pieces of dolls....shit, that sounds a little strange...
Just a shot of a Blackberry Torch to play around with the AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D, Nikon's cheapest lens. At f/1.8 it is quite soft but stopped down a little it gets really sharp.
Shot with:
Nikon D7000
AF NIKKOR 50 mm 1:1.8D
at f/1.8, 1/80 sec, ISO 1100
My family has owned a waterfront cabin along Torch Lake (in Northern Michigan) for more than three generations. Myself, I make a yearly trip from the West Coast back to Michigan every summer so that I can see friends and family.
Naturally, I have my camera with me when I make these visits back East, and this photo was taken during my most recent trip to Michigan (2006).
Obviously, this is a long exposure, taken quite a bit after the sun had set.
Aside from a bit of saturation tweaking, there's been very little Photoshop work to this image.
. . . Usually the blue water of Torch Lake takes my breath away, but today the snow showers made everything grey! Looking towards the public boat launch in Alden, MI.
Have a great Friday and weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Fall foliage has lasted into Spring here in the Wasatch mountains of Utah, seen here reflected in the lower Bell's Canyon reservoir on Good Friday, 2018.
This image is flipped from the original and as soon as I had done that it reminded me of lit torches and heat distortion above an open flame.
