I'll let this question be answered by fellow forum users
What's your answer about it?
fake or not?
Fake. The lighter won't stay lit without pressing the button and the splash is too great for an object of that size to be dropped. Cool image, but manipulated.
Tumblr LukeThe Himeji Gardens, Adelaide, South Australia, from yesterday. I need to go back in a few weeks time to catch all the Spring blossoms though. Three images, stitched in Lightroom's merge to pano. module.

Knowing your photoshop skills, I would call composite (dont want to use word fake as that detracts from your abilities and suggests foul play).I'll let this question be answered by fellow forum users

I was messing about in the spare room the other night building shelves and the sun was shining through our window shutters making pretty patterns on the wall. Grabbed a quick snap. The gradual loss of intensity of the light is what interested me.

Another one from Stowe. I imagine when this was built, it was someones job to climb up the stairs and light it at night. Sadly you couldn't get to the top, as I'm sure the view would have been spectacular.

Fabulous colours! absolutely beautiful!
Doesnt matter what technical wizardry we engineer, invent or innovate. No matter what we develop, Mother Nature delivers more beauty every time!
A bit of stone and greenery
There's a tear in the space time continuum!!!! - looks like a photograph of a deep space galaxy... no? just me then? OK, back in my box... ;-)
Nice leading line, another nature trumps technology example.

ok players
seems like you're too hawk-eyed and I need to step up my game to fool you
so
1. the flame is a stock image. I thought of hacking the lighter for continuous flame but most probably it wouldn't register on the picture due to low output and high shutter speed. At least not in that low-shutter style.
2. Splash is from actual photo, just another earlier attempt. I threw the lighter in with all my might I might say.
3. Brought together in photoshop, masked, lightened, contrasted, dodged, painted etc etc
thanks for all your kind words and playing the Guess game!
cheers,
Patrick

Thanks for debunking the mystery. A few of us started a thread on fruit dropping a while back. You would have enjoyed it.

three shrooms ... nylons-wrapped 24-70 mm lens at 60 mm w/ a 36 mm extension tube, 800 ISO, f/18, 1/100 s
Another Eastern Plains Rosella
Outside of the Himeji Gardens, I found this Eastern Plains Rosella happily allowing me to get closer and closer for this shot whilst it foraged and ate grass seeds.
I was about 3 metres from it and only had the 24-105mm lens with me, so this is a very heavy crop to get it this large.
