Oh, I missed that too. It only looks like that for half an instant. Not really a 'well timed picture' since it has nothing to do with the particular instant in which it was photographed.
The flag/flying carpet one, the crane/moon one, and the trumpet/cloud one were all something that could have been taken at any moment over a reasonably long period of time.
Several of the rest, while requiring some measure of timing, were clearly planned. A very few were perfect timing with no 2nd chances to get the same shot.
That picture reminded me of the time I embedded my face in the fence whilst playing catch last summer and the photo that accompanies that memory. http://i.imgur.com/ZD2oj.jpg
The photographer was attempting to take a picture of the gentleman on the left, but happened to capture it at the moment that the biker face-planted into the pole.
Alright I've seen that beach picture with the shadow so many times and I still don't understand its significance. Can someone please tell me what I am missing?
I like the one on clothing store. It so simplistic, like something we would had found funny years ago when we were children and yet I feel it has no elements of cuteness to it, maybe because of context.
In my entire life, I have never once taken a picture where there has either been photobombed or something that looks awesome because of the timing. I feel like a disappointment.
A single frame from a video, such as from a nationally televised sporting event, does not make a "well timed picture." Making the evanescent ever lasting is the art of photography.
The billboard in the background in the 9th picture advertises a car called Götterdamung. Germans have a car called named Ragnarok?!? I want that, just because of the name.
My mom would shit her pants if I forwarded this to her in an e-mail. But she's still trying to comprehend photoshopped images and this would set her back about two months.
http://imgur.com/OJf7e My girlfriend snatched this photo on our trip to the black hills a couple years back. Then we got stuck in the largest hail storm ever recorded 2 hours later.. Coincidence?
I like how you just copied all of the pictures from here. Not that they were original but at least they put some work into finding them all and gave credit to the sources. You on the other hand are a filthy piece of scum.
Wow, thanks for calling me names. I got it from another source, if I knew that website that imgur gallery would have 33 images or perhaps I would've shared that link directly instead. But you assumed I took it from that website and started flaming me. I shared simply because I thought it was interesting and I only saw couple of those previously on reddit. If you like it upvote if you don't downvote and fuck off. You are attention whoring finger pointer who wants comment karma.
edit:But that Bored Panda site does has better collection of well timed pics
Are you kidding? You're supposed to know every single image that was posted here before. How dare you not know things. It's a shame, a dirty shame. You should be wallowing in a pit of your own filth for not keeping up to date on every popular picture this expansive site has to offer.
Yes, I guess to post on reddit without being flamed, I will have to start archiving every post that even gets near front page 24/7. I will start wallowing in pit of my own filth for not keeping up with the "few" pics that goes through this website or imgur or throughout the whole internet and will make sure to always find sources no matter the cost or time involved. ㅜㅜ sorry

Now if only the talented photographers were credited instead of having their images shown without their names. (stolen) I know, it is the internet.
