Though some may say there's no more to it than pointing and shooting, photography is definitely an art form. As anyone who has struggled with a subpar phone camera can tell you, framing, lighting, focus and a million other considerations sort a decent pic from just another blur on the camera roll.

One of the most important factors in getting that perfect shot is having the right timing. In photography, timing really is everything, and many skilled photographers can make something beautiful out of a perfectly timed shot — and some amateur photographers can create something truly horrible this way too.

Oftentimes, it's the unexpected images that wind up being the best ones. Timing is everything, and capturing the right moment can produce some extremely creative results — especially when it comes to perfectly timed photos.

The X / Twitter account @perfectly_pics collects some of the best examples of these, so take a look below and marvel at what a split second can do.
