Understanding Depth of Field
Photography is probably the worlds most common past time in the world. Every second there is a new picture taken somewhere on the planet. Some by amateurs and some taken by pure professionals. Within movies and photography there is something called “Depth of Field” and it’s basically and simply put the way the photo is taken from a focused point of view. While amateurs usually just take a picture which portraits the whole image in focus, a professional picks an object within the frame and focuses the photo around that object, leaving everything else out of focus.

How to fake tilt-shift in Photoshop Tutorial
What Is Tilt-Shift Photography?
Wikipedia “Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.
Open-source camera could revolutionize digital photography
Stanford scientists have created an open-source camera that could revolutionize digital photography by giving programmers that chance to design software to teach the device new tricks.

Tilt shift photography
What is Tilt shift photography
Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras; it usually requires the use of special lenses.
"Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to change the line of sight while avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings.
In many cases, "tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of tilt and a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field. Know More
