It isn't often that things work out perfectly in life, in fact, most of the time, things don't work out perfectly. Some photographers work for years to snap the perfect photos, but for others, perfect photos happen by accident, and that is a beautiful thing. Perfectly timed photos are photos that catch amazing images and moments in a split second, without even trying. It could be animals causing mischief, it could be funny accidents happening, or it could be some amazing natural phenomenon that would have been missed otherwise. Perfectly timed photos are just satisfying.

There are tons of them out there to see, too, especially since these days everyone has a camera attached to them. Reddit's /r/perfecttiming is a subreddit where users can share all of their perfectly timed photos that they may not have even been trying to capture. Here are 26 of them that are truly astonishing and totally worth seeing today.
