best "heat of the moment" picture you've ever taken?

[Paul the 6th]

we've all taken them, those pictures where something has happened in the heat of the moment and you just happened to hit the shutter release at exactly the right moment...


this weekend at the soutbank centre in london:

Edit - I forgot this one to. Just happened to be in the right place when Jorge sat up to look round and it looks like he's eyeballing me..

[Spiderman]

Excellent 1st pic Fizz...and the last one, he is eyeballing you thinking "is he the official photographer? I'll have to remember to look good passing him nxt lap" cos you know racers get really bored doing all those laps and just wanna be noticed, right.

One of my faves, a Red Kite flies off with a bit of meat that's been dropped in the water.

Honey bee, not great focus but I like the way you can see a "ghost" leg in mid flight, looking closely

This is probably the best 'heat of the moment' pic I have - taken at Australia Zoo last year. The keepers had a deep bond with the tigers which was pretty obvious from this photo...

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r397/cartwrim/Tigerhug.jpg

I took over 100 photo's of the tigers - I could have watched them all day!

Just in case - I maintain all copyrights to my photo's! :p

This is a pic I took of a lad overtaking my son round the outside at Gerrards, Mallory Park, just as his engine let go. The poor chap only made it to the next corner before pulling off. My sons helmet & leathers were absolutely covered in oil when he came into the pits.

This is one of my favourite 'just caught' pictures as it captured the motion but it's extremely sharp and well in focus unlike most shots of this type:

Otherwise it may be this one:

I was walking the dog and could see some smoke in the distance, as I got closer I could see the fire as in the picture. This was taken at a decent range but before long I could feel the heat of the fire and realised it was time to get out of there pronto as the fire was spreading rapidly. I have the only pictures taken of the fire as by the time the papers were onto it the area was well cordoned off, I offered my pictures to them but they wouldn't even look at them as they were sending their 'professional' photographer. They didn't get a single picture and ended up buying some pictures taken of some smoke from the side of the road. Needless to say I've always been a bit annoyed about that...

me and my mate were driving back to Nanyuki from up country when we saw two elephants cross infront of us... he stopped the bedford and I climbed out through the capola hatch onto the roof...
I took a few happy snaps then he shouted "Richie...Get the F**k back in the truck...
I turned around to see why... the truck had cut off the herd of elephants... was there were 7 or 8 the other side of the road...
and this Big one was just about to Charge the Bedford....
