Not all photographers have time to capture the perfect moment for a photo. This is probably the reason why those photographs which are taken not even a second before or too late are the ones we appreciate the most on many levels.

These photos capture a variety of different situations. One is the shot taken a second before something inevitable happens – there’s something particularly impressive about these shots, regardless of what comes next: good, bad, disastrous, or just plain amusing.

Here are 12 photos that you can’t help but look at and imagine the outcome that occurred a split second later. Superb!

Now, this is just perfection!
