Shooting the FULL MOON in LONDON for 3 days in a row

Shooting any kind of full moon or supermoon especially over a big city is always the luck of the draw when it comes to weather. Also London's weather also doesn't have the best reputation out there. Having the luck of seeing the moon rise or set all the way from/to horizon for 3 days straight down here, is a true photography hattrick.
0:10 Day 1 - Greenwich Park, moon setting inside London Eye
1:15 Day 2 - London City Airport, planes landing/taking off through the moon
3:03 Day 3 - Northala Fields, a proper vlog shoot
4:55 Throwback to the moonrise from Northala Fields on the 24th September 2018
9:31 The final moonrise

Super awesome shot. So impressive from that distance and the patience to wait for it and set up.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Darren 😀 yeah it was fun to shoot and wait to see it actually happen compared to so many times I went, set up and got disappointed

[@fabienb]

Makes me happy to know I am obviously your lucky charm, having been there for all 3 absolute bangers! My original commentary on the plane landing will make history among our friends ☺️☺️☺️ Cheers Michael, let's plan next shots! ☺️

[@LondonViewpoints]

You definitely clearly must be my lucky charm, as three days in a row something like this is impossible especially in London. Oh that commentary 🤣was thinking if to include it or not, but decided not too😜let’s shoot again soon

[@robertcsalatimelapse]

Who cares about the crane when you have an epic timelapse like this, great video Michael!

[@LondonViewpoints]

It’d be nicer without it, but still pretty pleased with the results, thanks Robert

[@berlinlapse]

Nice hatrick and the last one is perfect 👌

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Felix 😀got super lucky these 3 days and the 3rd was definitely a great finish

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Superb, I particularly liked the 2018 rise.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Terry, indeed the 2018 one had nice colours reflecting back off the skyscrapers

[@frankdasilva]

Epic moon mission! Well done Michael, I enjoyed watching! 👏

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Frank, it was an intensive few days but we’ll worth it in the end

[@alexanderthegreat7213]

The very stuff of Iconic City Skyline shots. I would love that as a wall poster. Well done to you, you have a great eye for this kind of thing. Please keep doing what you do.

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot for your words of support. Dm me on ig if you’re interested in any prints😀👍🏻

[@robinlee7531]

Fantastic!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thank you

[@meletispix]

Your luck really turned around this time mate! Getting 3 awesome days in London is a treat! You really made the most of it 😎💪🏼

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks mate, indeed this was pretty lucky to witness for 3 days in a row😱

[@katerinegiannikos]

Finally watching your moon video 👀 and wow!🤯 I am blown away but the quality of the lens and cameras you used! These shots came out spectacular from so far away! Even on the last day with the scene being so dark, you were able to capture the city so perfectly 👌🏻

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Katerine, yes that lens definitley can deliver, and with the right balance of setting even on a late moon rise at 5.6 the iso doesn’t have to be super high for achieving decent results, glad you enjoyed watching it😀

[@lukehenrymiller]

Well done👏👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Luke 😀

[@RicoOder]

So many nice footages, looking epic! 😍 Congrats man 🥳

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot Rico, for three days I also think I got quite a lot of good stock and social content 😀pretty pleased

[@andrewlunn]

Wow - what an awesome video and hatrick of Moon timlapse. It started off awesome and I thought it would be hard to beat, but you got some more amazing views / images / videos etc. The P1000 sure did deliver as well. Top work as always Michael - congrats

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Andrew, it was indeed an amazingly weather lucky three days, plus some good planning and things really went well. Yeah I keep on thinking if I should get the P1000 for myself again, maybe a used one even

[@andrewlunn]

@@LondonViewpoints Yeah could be a good purchase. I was looking online after I watched this haha! Sure is great for those rare 3000mm opportunities

[@bothhemispheresphotography5031]

Many congrats on a successful hat-trick, I'm glad I was there for at least one 1/3 of the hat (I still think your thumbnail should've been a cheesy "moon with fedora", but hey, you have taste!). And "Chitty chat chat", had a good LOL at that one :-)

[@LondonViewpoints]

Glad the added bits made you laugh, the 3rd was a great moon, was debating about other thumbnail option but this one was sort of simple so left it

[@thecooldude0071]

Looks epic 🔥

[@LondonViewpoints]

Which one was your favourite ?

[@thecooldude0071]

@@LondonViewpoints probably the 2nd day.

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@thecooldude0071 yeah planes look definitely cool flying through the moon

[@thecooldude0071]

@@LondonViewpoints for sure 😎🤙

[@scotty4418]

Your planning and execution of your timelapses really makes your work stand apart Michael, that moonset into the London Eye was phenomenal and the moonrise at the end was fabulous. Great work and congratulations on your work once again

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, often it’s a group effort, a few of us confirm our findings and then we’re somewhat sure that there’s a bigger chance of it going right, but the weather can still pull unexpected tricks on you last minute with clouds out of nowhere, but these three were ultra lucky

[@Brunton_Media]

Great work as always buddy!

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks Carlton 😀

[@Brunton_Media]

@@LondonViewpoints your very welcome my friend

[@KevinTanger]

Great vlog and timelapse, Michael! Just curious, what sort of weights did you put on the lens?

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks a lot, it was a bag with two pockets one on each side and I put gym weights, 1kg in each to push it down

[@LeeMansfield]

Superb! i do a lot of North West full Moon mainly stills. what camera and settings do you use for the timelapse ?

[@LondonViewpoints]

Thanks, usually 1s interval and 0.6” shutter which works on my body but some other cameras may not save as fast and this speed will cause your body to skip, so check that first

[@BenHawkinsPhotography]

I’m at Hillingdon Sports & Leisure Complex

[@BenHawkinsPhotography]

But can’t find any position to see the city

[@LondonViewpoints]

Maybe the visibility wasn’t clear enough as the view is pretty easy to find

[@BenHawkinsPhotography]

hello mate thanks for getting back, I think the problem is the tree line is so high due to summer it blocked the view :) I was gutted @@LondonViewpoints
