50 most perfectly timed photos
08/13/2013 12:29:45 PM · #2
Terrific! Some are classics, some are new to me. Very cool stuff. 35, the headless gymnast, and 37, the 4-winged goose, are wonderful.

Some of these look photoshopped... not to say they are though.

The headless gymnast is pretty cool. At first glance, #7 looked like an eye, really awesome!

Thanks for sharing. :)

You betcha. As a lifelong yacht racer, I've got nothing but admiration for Alex Thomson and how he pulled that one off. Here's the story and a video of the stunt.

Thanks Bear_Music for the video of the keel walk. I thought for sure that was photoshopped. You've got to be confidant in the ocean to want to pull off a stunt like that. Very cool.

As for the picture of the Starbucks truck - how funny. One would think someone would have noticed that every time a delivery guy slides the side door all the way open on the van the word "sucks" word appear next to their logo. What were they thinking?

Some of those are contrived rather than just a matter of timing, but they still look cool. Thanks for the enlightenment about #21, Bear. #26 made me grin.
