33 Perfectly Timed Photos

You may be the best photographer in the world, but sometimes all it takes to take an amazing picture is being in the right place and having perfect timing. It doesn’t even matter if you take it with your cell or high-end DSLR. Often, you won’t even notice you made an incredible perfect timing photo until you come home and transfer your images to a computer. And these fun pictures are the best kind of hilarious for being completely unexpected and original.

However, that doesn’t mean you should stop improving your photography skills and just wait for that one and only coincidence. As a popular saying goes:

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

So be prepared for it and be lucky! Here are 33 Perfectly Timed Photos to get you inspired.

It would have been a great Time Line Sharing, if not for some absolutely bad taste, hard for older folks to assimilate...Next time, try to divide Artistic versus Malicious...( Its just judicious good taste...not rocket science, as they say !!!)
