There’s a lens you can get for your camera called a tilt-shift lens that distorts the perspective and fakes depth of field where it shouldn’t be.  Normally as things get closer or further away from the camera, they get blurry when you’re using a shallow depth of field.  But with a tilt-shift lens, you can make the top, bottom, or sides of the frame start to blur when they shouldn’t.  It’s a neat effect, and I’ve seen some great photos with it, but these videos are some of the coolest examples I’ve seen yet.  When you shoot large things (buildings, landscapes, vehicles) and apply a shallow depth of field to them, it freaks your brain out a little bit because you don’t normally see such large objects out of focus.  They end up looking like little toys and models.  It’s really neat.  Here are some awesome videos by Sydney-based photographer Keith Loutit showing this technique:
