Reverse Shallow Depth

I had a hard time taking reverse shallow depth. A lot of the pictures I took had both the foreground and background in focus. I'm happy with how this picture turned out because I was able to get the background out of focus. I also like the detail shown in the wood and rusty nail. I used the macro option and then focused on the nail to get the background out of focus. Then for the second picture, I focused on something else far away and then moved the camera to point at the cabin and nail. This brought the background into focus and the foreground out of focus.
