Fun with focus

Framed Clouds, originally uploaded by shadowfall.

I’ve been playing around with the focussing system on my camera (Canon S2 IS for those not in the know) over the past month.

I’ve also been very lazy in uploading the photos that I have taken. So, killing two birds with one stone, I am uploading another major bunch of photos. Of course, the thing that connects most of them (this picture not included) is that I have tried to see how much I can blur the background and present the subject in sharp relief.

Also, for a change, I have tried to think towards the composition of a shot.
Of course, still learning, so criticism is appreciated :)

Have focussed on a single group while the remaining groups stay blurred.

Here I was trying to focus on the intial plane, i.e get the complete first line in focus.

The last one - a bud that has opened a little more than the ones behind it.

All other photos (as usual) are on the photosite.

Enjoy :)
