The ferry  from Gateway to Alibagh is a good one to practice some flight shots.

Gulls & Akshi Beach

Woke up 3 AM on the sunday and drove to Akshi along with Girish, Parag, Swapneel & Rakesh. Right there at the crack of dawn :-)

Receding tide and I went down on the wet beach full length on my stomach, muck and all :-)

Used the “Skimmer” along with the wimberly for ground level work .

All Nikon D3, 600mm + TC17

My favourite  is where, I envisioned static gulls below and flight blurred ones just above.  Made something like what I had in mind . I have plans to improve this shot the next time but, for now here it is.
