A place dedicated to photos of the unexpected and unplanned.

Welcome to r/PerfectTiming, a subreddit dedicated to photos of the unexpected and unplanned.

Rules

1: All photos submitted must be unexpected and unplanned.
Avoid trivial submissions: If your post isn't the result of an unexpected and unplanned photography coincidence, it doesn't belong here. This place isn't about when things line up just right - it's about when things fall outside the line altogether, in ways you never saw coming...
Also, remember: Screenshots are not photos, so don't submit screenshots!

2: Keep things clean, family friendly and fresh.
Be nice.
• No bots allowed (no bot summoning either).
• No gore, nudity, porn or violence allowed.
• No reposts.
• No self-promotion allowed.
• Use the NSFW tag to mark photos that might make visitors uncomfortable.
• No photoshopped images.
• No screenshots.

3: Use direct image links only.
Don't submit albums, collections or page links.

Moderating

• Comments and submissions are curated and removed at the discretion of the moderators and the community.

The moment lunch was stolen.

The one on the left was quite happily eating away, when the one on the right swooped in from nowhere and pinched it mid flight just as I took the shot.

Took this photo at a parade of the instant this car's antifreeze/coolant blew up

This was taken 5 years ago, and I always thought it was a cool shot, but never posted it. I also have a video of the aftermath, where the car is smoking.

I picked up a frog and was showing it to this little boy. My girlfriend took a photo at the precise instant the frog leapt out of my hand
