Got this shot a season ago of Phil Clayton, Australia Ironman Open water swiming champion. in one of his races.

I was wondering if you guys would consider this image as portfilio material?

30D, ISO200, 1/800sec, F7.1, Lens 18-55 kit lens at 36mm in a borrowed underwater housing.

Really nice image from a unique perspective.

The only concern about using it in a portfolio would be that unless you own the housing or can easily get one on a moment's notice it might be a problem if someone wanted to hire you to do something similar.

Also, did you set up the camera in the housing? Asking only to be sure that if you are advertising the ability to get a shot like this that you could reasonably expect to do it again. Not doubting your ability in any way, just throwing out some thoughts in regard to using it in a portfolio.

Very valid points and noted. Yes, all the settings were done by me, but yes I would struggle to get a housing at short notice. I've been try to get one for ages but they are very expansive.

Anyone know where I might be able to get one on the cheap. (In Aus or Overseas to fit a 50D)?
