muikabochi 208 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I think it's simply playing with the focus. It really does make them look like models doesn't it. I'm going to try that with some of my photos when my current busy period passes. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Pretty sure that is a shift-tilt lens. It might be possible to photoshop something like that but I don't know as I've never used the program. Read more about it here Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Other than wanting to make the subject look like a model I don't really see the point. Bit of fun I guess to play around with but I don't really like the effect. Link to post Share on other sites
