    The 50 most perfectly timed photos ever, and not a single one from Henri Cartier-Bresson.

    /puts on hipster glasses.

    I am disappoint.

    The eye/sink picture is incredible! Took me a few seconds to realise what I was looking at.

    Struggle to believe some of those aren't 'shops (e.g. the jet emerging from the egg-shaped cloud and the eagle pic) but nice link all the same :thumb:

    The eagle one maybe but the jet is just breaking the sound barrier I think, you'll find lots of examples of that on teh web.

    Yep it is, NASA is the owner of the image. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap010221.html

    That egg shaped cloud is the sonic boom created by the jet as it breaks the sound barrier.

    I still wonder if some of them are manipulated. A lot of them aren't exactly mind blowing examples of being in the right place at the right time; they're just examples of people intentionally using forced perspective to achieve a desired effect.

    It's a nice little gallery of contemporary images, but I'd hardly call it the 50 most perfectly timed photos ever.

    Bah - I'm just being grumpy.

    I also had the same thoughts, but just decided it would be better to share the link than not share it.

    Just quickly adding to what the other guys said, that cloud is cone shaped with the jet emerging from the tip ;) Makes it easier to look at and see what it is.

    Hard to believe that none of them are shopped but I guess it's not really important... they are all nice photos - thanks for sharing!

    The Hugo Boss picture, they dropped the guy there using a water scooter. No need to say they had to try many times before he could stand lol
