Taking the perfect photo requires some careful planning and passion for the craft. You have to find the right angle, the right light, the correct timing to capture it and hope that nothing or no one ruins it.

Sadly, things don’t always go as you wish, and you’re left with a bunch of pictures on your camera roll that simply don’t make the cut. These are the shots that were almost masterpieces but ended up serving pure humor instead.

You can really see the effort and vision that went behind it, but life is all about spontaneity. These photos capture those moments when people tried to nail the perfect shot but fell short. At least memories are forever.
