There are apps and programs that allow you to do a fake "tilt-shift" effect, but it can also be done with very expensive lenses.

Perhaps Brad or one of the forum photogs can chime in. I have messed around with an app, and it can be very effective.

To get the real tilt-shift, this picture was shot with an early 1970s vintage 4x5” Sinar P view camera with a 90mm Schneider Super Angulon 90mm f/8 lens, equipped with a wide-angle bellows, on 4x5” Fuji Velvia ISO 100 color transparency film. The top of the front plane of the camera was tilted down, and the front was also shifted up, while the top of the back plane was tilted back slightly, and was shifted down. The transparency was scanned in a Hasselblad Flextight X5 scanner to 10,000 pixels wide @ 600 pixels/inch.






Nah, just kidding.... it was shot with a Droid Razr, and I used Photoshop CC 2014 to do a lot of masking, exposure and color correction, then used the tilt-shift tool. Here's the original:
