The image had been removed from newspapers for a while because many readers have found the image disturbing. The subject of the photograph was falling from the World Trade Center when either looking for safety or escaping from the smoke. This photo was taken during the 9/11 attacks. It was taken during the Spanish Civil War.Įven though the image’s authenticity has been a topic of various debates, it is no question that the photograph has immaculate timing. This famous picture captures the death of a soldier. It is a perfect mix of perspective and timing. The timing is perfect with the head disappearing behind the torso. You can see the hands and a leg, but the other leg loses its shape as it points towards us. You might think this is a very strange image. Or he might be trying to catch a flying plane, holding it in the air. This makes it look like he is playing with a toy. In this image, Buddha’s meditation hand pose lines up perfectly with the passing plane. The photographer uses his perspective to show the finger ‘booping’ the man’s nose, who is waiting for the underground. There are many memes around the idea of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where God reaches out to Adam with his finger. The perfectly timed photo was taken by waiting for the moon to line up with the bottom of the crane.Ī scene such as this one makes it look like the crane is relocating the moon to a different spot. This image by Bruno Gerber was captured in Bern, Germany. They captured the exact second when the baseball bat hit the man’s face. They also managed to compose the photo perfectly in such a short amount of time. However, when looking at it a bit more carefully, it is noticeable that the photographer timed the photo just right. When looking at this photo for the first time, the initial impression is that this photo is a huge chaos. It makes it look like a really fast bird. However, with the placement of the eagle, it looks like the lines are coming from its feet. Here, we spot flight lines from what we would associate with a plane.

We can use timing in photography to change the meaning of other subjects. Out of amazement, he managed to capture both creatures together. He turned around to see that a weasel had jumped on the back of a woodpecker. The photographer was just hanging around a park on a sunny day when he heard a bird shrieking. This is one of the best examples of a perfectly timed photo. When the timing is right, we can see all sorts of humans with horse legs, bird wings, or in this case, a fish head.ġ0. Humans having animal body parts is a continuous source of jokes when it comes to candid photos. Secondly, it hits his face so perfectly, it would look like a mask if there wasn’t a ripple in the man’s face. For one, he shows no reaction to the impending doom. This image of a man being hit in the face with a basketball seems very strange. Not only is the boat floating irregularly, but they also managed to place a man in a suit standing on the boat’s rudder. So it wasn’t only about perfect timing, but the shot also had to be executed precisely according to plan. This is an image that was planned beforehand. This formation creates an eye, which even matches the shape of the hole. Here, we see the placement of the moon within a hole in the rock. We often see scenes within inanimate objects, such as clouds or rock formations. He even looks as if he is aware that it is there.Ĭapturing such a shot is all down to the placement and perfect timing of the photographer. This snowboarder is using the well-lit moon as a stepping stone. The bird’s eye view makes it possible for the viewer to appreciate this unique and perfectly timed photo.ĥ. Not only the photographer had incredible luck and perfect timing, but he also managed to get the perspective just right. How often does something like this happen? This image captures a scene of what looks like a flamingo, made from flamingos. Whether it was a planned or candid shot, hats off to the photographer. It is something very rare, so the timing is just as important as the perspective. It is difficult to find clothing that matches the scene perfectly. What makes the photo even better is that the moon and the rings are even the same size. In this picture of the Olympic Rings, the moon lines up, turning the five rings to six and thus creating a triangle. The amount of work and pre-planning that went into getting this shot should definitely be appreciated.Ģ. The composition is really unique, as we can see above and below the water at the same time. Our favourite image in our perfectly timed photography list is one by Stephane Ducandas.
