76. Where’d She Go?
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 5S
Where to Buy: Walmart
Avg. Cost: $95*
This perfectly-timed picture was posted on social media, and, if you look at it from a distance, you might only see a floating head. One woman showed up to the beach wearing a sandy-colored skirt and a light blue top. The result? She blended in perfectly with the vista before her.
Where’d She Go? @boredpanda/Pinterest
If we had to guess, this spontaneous photo was taken with an iPhone 5S. The 5S was all the rage in 2013, and, when Apple announced it, it flew off the shelves. Believe it or not, ten years later, you can still snag one of these devices for just $95 at Walmart.
77. “Man In a Hurry” Edas Wong
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 13
Where to Buy: Apple
Avg. Cost: $1,129*
Taken by photographer Edas Wong, who you can find on Imgur, this photo is a “Man in a Hurry.” It is one of many “perfectly timed” photos that Wong has taken in Hong Kong. According to Wong, he is a “daydreamer” and lover of “imagination.”
“Man In a Hurry” Edas Wong @edaswong/Instagram
Street photography such as this has really popped up with the advent of cell phones. This picture, which was taken in July of 2022, could have been snapped with a phone like the iPhone 13, which you can find Apple for a little over $1,000. Or, who knows? Maybe this photo was taken with an Android, Apple’s continuous rival.
78. A Titanic-Sized Fail
Possible Camera Used: Samsung Galaxy A3
Where to Buy: eBay
Avg. Cost: $70-$120*
This photo becomes crazier the more you look at it. Sure, there is a seagull smashing into a woman’s face (clearly, he’s tired of people trying to reenact the famous Titanic scene), but the woman’s shirt here is also wacky. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think she was half-nude on the boat.
A Titanic Sized Fail @imgur/Pinterest
Seagulls are surprisingly clumsy, and they’re non-aggressive, more likely to cause you damage by flying into you and nipping you with a beak. Talk about a perfectly-timed photo. Though this isn’t quite the romantic photoshoot this couple had in mind, it is certainly a memorable one.
79. Yoga by the Sea
Possible Camera Used: Sony RX10 II
Where to Buy: BH Photo Video
Avg. Cost: $998*
This photo is as perfectly-timed as it gets. In it, a woman is sitting doing yoga on the beach while a wave crashes behind her. Judging from the buildup of sand she is sitting on, this photo was planned, using a setting created by none other than Mother Earth itself.
Yoga by the Sea @onediocom/Pinterest
To capture such a picture, you’d probably need a high-speed camera, such as the Sony RX10 II. More affordable than the III (yet still effective), you can find this camera for under $1,000 at some stores. It’s compact, point-and-shoot, with, according to one Amazon reviewer an “awesome sensor” and an “awesome lens.”
80. The Big Catch
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 8
Where to Buy: Walmart
Avg. Cost: $130*
In 2017, the iPhone 8 was all the rage from Apple, and that’s what could have been used to snap this photo of a little boy about to lose his big catch. Now, you snag the 8 at Walmart for under $200, as everyone wants the best and boldest from Apple. Buying an older iPhone for cheap is a great option for people who want a phone and don’t need a ton of bells and whistles.
The Big Catch @imgur/Pinterest
In this picture, this little tot is about to learn a tough lesson about cats and how they don’t care about your accomplishments. This feisty feline is just a few centimeters away from snagging his prized fish and running off with it as a tasty snack.
81. Fire Dragon
Possible Camera Used: Google Pixel 6A
Where to Buy: Best Buy
Avg. Cost: $449*
A mere hibachi grill turned into a Pokemon character with this amazingly-timed photograph. One diner was likely taking a video of their hibachi chef cooking it up when they got a glimpse of a flame that looked like a coiled, snarling dragon. The photo might not be the best quality, but it is certainly fascinating and one of a kind.
Fire Dragon @onediocom/Pinterest
With a little clarity editing, this picture could be brought up to speed and turned into something even more amazing. This photo might have been taken with a phone like the Google Pixel 6A, an Android that has gotten pretty good reviews from its users and tech publications.
82. The Infinite Yawn
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 6 Plus
Where to Buy: Walmart
Avg. Cost: $100*
Animals sometimes provide us with the best photographic subject matter, even when they don’t mean to. Taken in July 2014, this photo shows an infinite yawn from a dog who must be quite sleepy. After all, he yawns so much, the owners have a picture of him yawning.
The Infinite Yawn @boredpanda/Pinterest
In this picture, he’s sitting in front of his yawning portrait, you guessed it, yawning. This adorable photo is crystal-clear, and it could have been taken with an iPhone 6 Plus, the “it” phone that came out in 2014. Though super-pricey at the time, you can now cop one at Walmart for just $100.
83. When Do They Break Out Into A Song?
Possible Camera Used: Cannon R5 Mirrorless
Where to Buy: Canon USA
Avg. Cost: $3,699*
Seen on @perfectlytimedphotos on Instagram, this adorable photo features two lion cubs hanging out, one with his arm around the other. This picture may have been taken with a professional camera such as the Canon R5 Mirrorless. You can find this high-tech, high-quality camera at Canon USA for $3,699.
When Do They Break Out Into A Song? @perfectlytimedpics/Twitter
Though blind and helpless at birth, lion cubs quickly mature, though they still rely on their lioness mother to show them the ropes. You can find these cubs in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. This photographer was lying in the grass, waiting for the perfect shot, when these two cuddly cubs came around.
84. Nailed It
Possible Camera Used: Galaxy S
Where to Buy: eBay
Avg. Cost: $100*
This cute photo was taken at just the right time. In it, a cat is standing by a statue of his lion ancestor. The lion is roaring, while the cat is making an equally ferocious yawn (cats look like demons when they yawn). Likely taken with a cell phone camera, this is a reminder that our sometimes-friendly pet cats are a bit more vicious than they may seem.
Nailed It @perfectlytimedpics/Twitter
And that’s a scientific fact, too. Tigers and domestic cats share a common ancestor from 10.8 million years ago, and that lineage has stuck around—the two animals share almost 96% of their DNA!
85. At Least He’s Well Dressed
Possible Camera Used: Canon 5D Mark IV
Where to Buy: Canon USA
Avg. Cost: $2,499*
This unique photo shows a horsewoman in traditional garb who looks as though she is half-human, half-horse. She is standing next to two horses, and one is cuddling with her, creating an optical illusion. Horses are surprisingly cuddly. Though they might not snuggle up on our laps like dogs, they love their humans, as you can see from this photo.
At Least He’s Well Dressed @boredpanda/Pinterest
The Canon 5D Mark IV might have been used to take this photo, as it is a preferred camera amongst nature photographers. The $2,499 camera, which you can get from Canon USA, has a CMOS sensor and 30.4 megapixels.
86. Legs For Days
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 6
Where to Buy: Walmart
Avg. Cost: $100*
It took us a while to figure out what was going on in this photo. That’s the beauty of optical illusion photos—they’ll definitely make you look. In this picture, a bartender is serving a woman in a blue dress a drink.
Legs For Days @boredpanda/Pinterest
No, he doesn’t have long, dress-clad legs; the bar front, for some reason, is a mirror. A patron caught this perfectly-timed photo, snapping a picture on what could have been an iPhone 6, which was introduced in September of 2014 (and discontinued in 2019, though you can still get one cheap at Walmart).
87. Made You Look Twice
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 4
Where to Buy: eBay
Avg. Cost: $150*
Posted on Imgur, the caption on this photo read, “First I thought, ‘Nice hair,” but then…” That’s the danger with getting a front-row seat to a presidential speaker—you might accidentally go viral. In this case, this photo went viral for a wholesome reason. The man in blue looks as though he’s wearing a wig, but, when the woman behind him moves her head, we see the truth.
Made You Look Twice @imgur/Pinterest
While the world of politics can get pretty hostile, this picture, which featured former president Barack Obama giving a speech in December of 2012, brought together all sides of the political spectrum for a good laugh.
88. Bad Weather, Perfect Timing
Possible Camera Used: HTC One
Where to Buy: eBay
Avg. Cost: $119*
Posted on Reddit by @Mocomedia in 2013, the caption on this photo reads, “Bad weather, perfect timing.” In the photo, this bus is bravely trying to navigate a flooded street, and it is carrying an ad of two people who look as though they’re about to ride the flood waves in an inner tube.

Buses are pretty sturdy, but it only takes a couple of feet to whisk away a vehicle. Are you technically supposed to drive through flood water? No, but this bus has passengers to transport and water parks to advertise.
89. Gulp!
Possible Camera Used: Sony Alpha 7 III
Where to Buy: Sony
Avg. Cost: $2,199*
This incredible photo reminds us that, once again, the ocean is a freaky place to be. There are huge fish with giant teeth, and, while beautiful, we all need to stay on our side of the ocean, lest we get eaten. In this photo, which could have been taken with a high-tech, high-speed, waterproof camera from a brand like Sony, a shark is about to crest the surface of the water.
Gulp! @boredpanda/Pinterest
The photo shows the shark right before he breaks the surface, creating an amazing, illusionary effect. Sharks hang out near the surface of the water when they want to feed, so swimmers should heed that piece of nature information.
90. If He Just Runs Fast Enough
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 5
Where to Buy: Walmart
Avg. Cost: $50-$100*
Posted on Imgur in 2012, the caption of the photo reads, “I’m not a father…but I love [my dog] like a daughter.” Those of us with pets can relate, though not many of us have caught a picture quite like this before. In the photo, this yellow lab is about to dive into the pool in summer, but the picture has caught her in a way that makes her look as though she’s walking on water.
If He Just Runs Fast Enough @imgur/Pinterest
Certain breeds of dogs, such as labrador retrievers, love the water because it’s in their genetics. Labs were bred for swimming and retrieving waterfowl, and their ancestor is, fittingly, St. John’s Water Dog.
