It's uncommon for things to align perfectly in life, but once in a while, it happens just right. It's a rare occurrence, but sometimes, people manage to capture these things happening on camera, too, so that the rest of us would be able to enjoy them just as much. And also because it would be pretty hard to prove something like this happened without modern photography. It's amazing to see the kinds of coincidences other people have witnessed, whether it's a funny mishap or an insane lightning strike caught on camera at the most perfect possible moment.

The subreddit /r/PerfectTiming captures some of the most perfectly timed photos out there, courtesy of people with some pretty amazing photography skills (or maybe just a whole lot of luck). Some of the things they've found in photos are pretty unexpected, impressive or just plain weird. Here are some of our favorite examples of perfect timing caught on camera.
