Animal photography requires a great deal of time, patience, and some say luck… and this is where the debate starts. What part does luck play in photography?

We rounded up 50 examples of perfectly timed animal photos which seem like pure luck. Most of these shots are so incredible that if you blinked you would have missed it! But as a popular saying goes:

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

What about you? What part does luck play in your photography?

P.S: we’ve tried our best to credit each and every photographer, but just couldn’t track some of them. Please leave a comment if you know the missing authors.

And if you’re craving more and want your very own amazing photograph to hang on your wall, why don’t you check out the amazing photography currently for sale on artFido by clicking HERE?
