Landscape Photography: playing with the focus

[phortun]

Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!

We have been finally getting some moisture here in the Czech Republic and the rainy autumn weather usually comes with one huge benefit - more mushrooms in the forest! My yesterday forage was therefore pretty successful as I managed to pick good 2 kg (4.4 lb) of nice fresh mushrooms in just about 2 hours.

I have already dedicated a few posts to my mushroom hunting activities, such as this one so let me show you something else today. While walking back to my parents´ house after I picked enough mushrooms to make my favorite creamy mushroom sauce (again :D), I noticed this old tree with a massive hole in its trunk. I pulled out my smart phone camera and took a couple of shots of the landscape in the background through the hole. Some of them were focused on the landscape while others were zoomed on the edges of the hole. I picked two of them to demonstrate the difference for you:

Which one do you like better, my Steemit friends? Btw, is there a way (function) to combine two similar images with different subjects in focus in one? Let me know in the comments! :)

Gorgeous photos. On the possibility of combining, I have not heard. Most like the first photo.

Thank you :) I like the first one better too ;)

Although I personally prefer the first image with the focus on the landscape, the second one is somehow interesting too.

Thank you :) I like the first one better too ;)
