18 People Who Became the Proud Owners of a Priceless Shot

The first photograph ever was taken by French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce way back in 1826. At the time, it took 8 hours to capture an image because of the long exposure needed, and the image got lost for 50 years before being rediscovered. Things have come a long way from then, but the emotional value of a great picture remains the same.

Bright Side compiled a collection of lucky shots taken by people with great reflexes who captured something cool, making an exciting memory in the process.
