You can see the terror in her eyes as she realizes her mistake. She completely misjudged the serve and now it is on a collision course with her face. We are glad the photographer had quick fingers and captured the moment right before it makes contact with the player.
There is so much emotion wrapped up in this still, and we can almost feel the sting on our faces just looking at this photo.
Catching Lightning in a Bottle, well…Camera
Cameras have been capturing moments since they were invented back in 1816, and they have come a long way since. Now everyone has one in their pockets to catch special moments. This person caught one of those such moments when he photographed lightning striking behind three houses.
He had a rolling shutter on his phone that came up as a bar and overexposed a third of the photo. It left us with an amazing photo and something to awe at whenever we look at it.
This One Takes the Skate
Not many photos make us flinch when we see them, but this one did. The timing of the photographer was perfect and makes it feel that the board is coming straight for us. We hope the cameraman wasn’t hurt while taking the photo, but we appreciate his dedication to his art.
We know if it was us we would have bailed as quickly as the person trying the trick. Luckily, they are not us and we are now graced with this gem of a photo.
He’s Going Down, We’re Yelling Timber
We know everyone can’t be an Einstein, but we wish people would have some more common sense. This picture just takes the cake because the man sawing doesn’t even realize his mistake supporting his ladder on a limb that her was cutting.
We can only assume his buddy did and that’s why he whipped out his camera to tease his buddy about it later. We hope no one was seriously hurt and they at least yelled, “Timber!” as they were going down.
The New Amateur Recreational Saucer-Sled Land Speed Record
Most people don’t know this, but this woman was trying to beat Clark Griswold’s amateur recreational saucer-sled land speed record. She was on her way to doing it until she missed the final jump and crashed out on her attempt.
Don’t worry she is in good spirits and hopes to compete again next year for the amateur record. Let’s hope for her sake and her bum, that she makes it this time.
