My journey into photography (formerly "Newbie questions")

[freezetyle]

I have recently come across a canon 5d. it has a canon 28-105mm lens on it. in order to get some of the close up shots i used a few of the magnifying filter on it. i can't seem to snap a decent pic in the water. Could there be too much distortion from going through both the magnifying filter (hoya 1+, 2+, 4+). I know i have the shakes a bit so a tripod is the next investment.

here is kind of the best i can get.
