This is a normal post I believe it is called tilt shift because...
the used to adjust the angle of the lens as the sutter was in motion...

this would blur certain areas of the shot making the remaining element look like a close up shot.

You can easily do this in photoplop now tho...

loads of tutorials online...tis easy

I'll have to borrow a DSLR camera and give it a whirl, no potatochopping though. Gotta research how much to tweak the angle of the lens by though

This is a normal post tired trick
tilt the lens and the focus shifts. it's not born out of damn digital crap. it's based of the good ole fashioned view cameras which do it so well. and have done it so well since the 1800's

This is a normal post It works because the human eye, and camera lenses
has a very narrow range of focus when looking at small things close up.

By narrowing the depth of field (the distance from the subject where things are in focus) using selective blurring on an image, you trick the eye into thinking it is doing the same thing.

Multi-focus cameras can focus on different

focus issues and making things look big.

This is a normal post magic
well these things don't look small anyway..... the opposite is to have everything in focus and not narrow the focus like this. all you do is tilt the lens the other way and it's all in focus once again. the magic of photoboxes.
this same 'trick' makes this photo possible. having both the girl in front in focus as well as the girl waaaaay in the background in the water
deorganic.com/jesse/assets/img/general/02.jpg
you see the black vignettes because the lens is tilted a bit further than it should go. it doesnt have the range for this.

and yes, i am ruining all fun.

I did catch this as it had front page coverage in a gay newspaper I spotted when in a gay pub, but even they struggled to expand on what was known about it over more than a paragraph or two.

It does sound like major surgery and I have no idea how many folks with natural immunity there are out there, so I'm not sure that it's in any way easily repeatable (if you can find a willing doner with matching genetic specs and the very very rare immunity), but still, wow, for the first time someone got cured, FACT, and apparently it is repeatable, so WHY has this amazing event been passed over by the major media?
