NASA Visible Earth: Home. 30 Pictures Taken At The Right Moment. A few moments later, the young woman pictured above had salt water in her eyes and sand between her teeth, but in this VERY brief moment, all was perfect. Moments like this are so fleeting, the human eye alone can hardly process how stunning an isolated moment like this is. That’s where the eye of the camera really becomes useful. Once in a blue moon you take a picture that captures a split second moment with stunning clarity. Now, more than ever, these photos are being taken and shared. For starters, you bring your camera phone everywhere you go and so it’s always available should the perfect picture opportunity arise.

Also, since sharing photos is easier than ever, if everyone takes that “perfect” image once every few years, that adds up to a lot of perfectly timed photos we can all share and enjoy! Some of the greatest photos taken at just the right moment include animals and nature, simply because they are so authentic, appearing like the natural wonders they are.

Finally! A picture is worth a thousand words. The expression "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words. " appears in a 1911 newspaper article quoting newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane discussing journalism and publicity.[1] 1913 newspaper advertisement A similar phrase, "One Look Is Worth A Thousand Words", appears in a 1913 newspaper advertisement for the Piqua Auto Supply House of Piqua, Ohio.[2] An early use of the exact phrase appears in an 1918 newspaper advertisement for the San Antonio Light which says: One of the Nation's Greatest Editors Says: One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words The San Antonio Light's Pictorial Magazine of the War Exemplifies the truth of the above statement—judging from the warm reception it has received at the hands of the Sunday Light readers.[3] It is believed by some that the modern use of the phrase stems from an article by Fred R.

Another ad by Barnard appears in the March 10, 1927 issue with the phrase "One Picture Worth Ten Thousand Words," where it is labeled a Chinese proverb (一圖勝萬言).
