What you're referring to is basically depth of field which can be controlled by most any lens with aperture adjustability. Tilt-Shift lenses go one further by allowing you to change the relationship of the plane of the lense to the plane of the film/sensor. It's often used in architectural photography to control perspective and increase focus across a wider distance, but can also be used really selectively focus on an area and give it a model-like feel. Almost like a diorama. See this <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/16/beautiful-examples-of-tilt-shift-photography/" rel="nofollow">link</a> for some other examples. Kind of.

Is that the out of focusness (to use the technical term) of the objects further in the distance versus the in-focusness (again the technical term) of the objects in the foreground?
