This Thread Has Mastered The Art Of Capturing Priceless Moments At Right Time

A picture is worth a thousand words, and when clicked at the right moment, it tells a story that many fail to fathom. Recently, an X (Formerly Twitter) user shared a series of shots taken by several talented photographers. While coming across some stunning clicks on social media is not rare, what caught the attention in these stills is the way the subject is placed cleverly against the backdrop, which successfully creates an illusion. In some the photographer has played with the colour scheme, in others they tried to show inanimate objects in action.

This mesmerising series was posted by James Lucas with the caption, “Photographs taken in the right place at the right time, intentionally or by chance – a thread.” The first picture was taken by Wilma Hurskainen. By the look, it is a simple image of a woman standing on a beach, but upon closer look, you understand the careful play of colours the photographer used. The light brown grainy sand on the shore matched the woman’s skirt, while the subtle blue and whistle pristine sea reflected on her top.

The entire thread is full of such stills that will make you wonder. In the following image, taken by Jill Maguire, you see a dog with its mouth open. The next second, you notice a similar frame hung on the wall behind. One of the images features Barack Obama in the middle of a speech in an outdoor setting. But the photographer, Pete Souza, angled the frame in such a manner that it looks like the former US President is holding the sun in between his hands.

Among other pictures, one that moved many netizens was the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Taken by Leonardo Sens, the pictures have a dark overlay with the moon in focus. However, as you look closely, it appears as if the statue is holding the giant moon.

Online users were simply astonished to see the well curated series, and many shared similar stills that encapsulated the theme of capturing at the right time. Others were truly in awe. A user said, “They all took it at just the right moment. Amazing!.” Another commented, “well timed photos.”

Some who were perplexed initially expressed, “It took a minute to figure it out wow.” Many also mentioned that these were some, “Cool finds.”
