Ever sincethe first camerawas added toa phone, we’ve become obsessed with taking pictures of just about everything that moves and a lot of things that don’t.
From selfies to waving a smartphone around at a gig or sporting event, we just can’t get enough of taking pictures in locations and circumstances that we never would if a trip to the developers awaited after.
That isn’t necessarily always a good thing, although some of the best comedy posted online can be attributed to those who can’t leave their phone’s camera alone.
There are those that take pictures with their devices in peculiar situations and have found incredible shots awaiting them. Not necessarily always for the right reason. even look back through their photo libraries afterwards. Hopefully, they had a much of a giggle looking back at their shots as we do now. They are, quite simply, hilarious.
Call them optical illusions, call them perfectly timed, or even call them unfortunate, each of the following pictures are great examples of what can happen when you arm everyone with a camera that they carry with them all the time. We hope you enjoy flicking through the pics as much as we have.
Oh, and be warned, some of them might seem NSFW. They’re not when you look more closely, but your boss might not get that chance.
Cutting the ribbon
KinWing Edas Wong makes a point of taking urban photographs that give an awesome perspective of the world around us. Perfectly time moments and perfect poses too.
A new breed
A new breed of hound spotted in the wild. This dog looks like he means business, even more so with a large head of horns.
Extendo arm
This chap really wanted to make sure he was in the photo. So much so he used his ultra-long extendo arms to move one of the girls out of the way so he could be in the frame.
Certainly a foamy finish and a brilliant celebration of a victory.
No doubt not the usual sort of spray pro surfer Mick Fanning is used to. Certainly a foamy finish and a brilliant celebration of his victory.
This BBQ might look like it’s out of control but maybe there’s a demon trapped inside?
Love is in the shadows
This perfectly timed photo appears to show two lovers leaning in for a kiss, it’s actually just two strangers shadows embracing as they walk by each other in the street. We love that the dog seems to see it too.
The morning after
Wow, that must have been a really good night out. Another classic timed photo snapped showing someone far worse for wear than they actually are.
This corker was posted on Reddit with the caption “the struggles of a substitute teacher”. Apt projection and another case of brilliant timing, this time from the classroom.
Yawning on parade
We bet this soldier got chewed out for breaking formation for a bit of a large yawn. Ruined the perfect lines of the photo and everything.
Interesting tackle
We’re not sure this is the best way to get the ball, but it’s bound to work well as a distraction.
