You can simulate it in Photoshop but it’s probably easier (albeit more expensive) to use special tilt-shift lenses. The effect is pretty cool, as if you’re photographing a miniature set. Some background on the technique here and here and some beautiful examples here.

The effect is used to stunning effect in this time-lapse music video made entirely with a tilt-shift lens:

Be interesting to see what would result if you put together the amazing Canon EOS 5D Mark II HD and a decent TS lens…
