18 beautifully-timed photos
The trick to getting the perfect shot is pressing the shutter at exactly the right time. You may have to set up your equipment and wait for hours or even months to get the shot of a lifetime. And then along comes someone with a smartphone, who happens to pull it out of their pocket and immortalize something incredible without a second thought!
The following selection is a mixed bag of lucky snaps alongside other photos that took weeks to plan. Either way, you'll have to agree they're awesome and worth every 'Like' and 'Share' they got!
