Timed-Perfect Photos That We Can't Help Looking Twice

We don't all have the skills of professional photographers. But, as these incredible snapshots demonstrate, sometimes all it takes is being in the right place at the right time to capture an amazing shot. That's exactly what happened to the lucky individuals behind these photos.

Everything aligned perfectly, and they were ready with their cameras to seize those fleeting moments. From unintentional (and hilarious) optical illusions to epic photobombs, these perfectly timed pictures are sure to brighten your day.

The Angelic Firefighter

Heroes come in all forms, and this firefighter is a prime example. Instead of a cape, he's rocking some metaphorical wings. Okay, maybe not literally, but there's a photo that makes it seem that way. Someone snapped a pic of him on a ladder during a mission, and it's pure magic. It captures the essence of firefighters as guardian angels, risking their lives to save others.

I hope the person in the photo realizes they were caught in such an iconic moment. If I were them or their family, I'd frame it in a heartbeat!
