There are many things in life where timing is everything. From buying a house to asking for a raise, from popping the big question to your significant other to buying or selling stocks, one area in particular where timing especially matters, is when attempting to snap the perfect photo. Maybe it is luck, perhaps it is a case of being at the right place at the right time, it may even just be having experience. Any way you slice it, the right timing can make all the difference.

In this extra large serving of perfectly timed photos, these photographers (whether amateur or professional) managed to capture these images at the exact perfect moment. From a funny coincidence to epic fails, crazy weather to even animals being cute and funny, these pics were snapped at the exact right moment and these photographers deserve an award for their skills... or luck.
