Inspired by the Disney video: Fun with TiltShift! I used a picture of mine to create a tilt/shift effect that's a little more realistic (link)

Tilt shift is used to create miniature effect but it's not 100% realistic. On a real photograph of a miniature, a "tall" building would be mostly in focus from bottom to top. However, with a tilt shift lens, the building will gradually get out of focus since it's basically a gradiant of blurriness.

With a depth map, you can tell Photoshop and other software how deep a specific part of an image is, and it will create the blur accordingly.

The image I did is not perfect, but you can see the lighthouse is still in focus even though the water behind it is blurry.
