One of the most important aspects of photography is the fact that it represents only a single moment in time.  As opposed to video, where the viewer can see both the beginning and end to the event, a photograph offers only a snapshot of the event.  Many photographers utilize this aspect to create absolutely brilliant photographic works of art.  By not giving the viewer a preview or end to the scene, the viewer is left to guess the future, and extend their own thoughts into the image.

In this post, we’ll look at 35 spectacular action photographs.  From skiers and snowboarders braving the highest peaks to the depths of the ocean and beyond, you’ll be left mesmerized by the brilliant timing and action in each photograph.

Hopefully you like the images, and let us know what you think in the comments.  As always, your votes and sharing is appreciated!  Have a great day and stay inspired.
