Tilt and Shift Lenses

I would love to get one but they're not cheap. They can create some good effects for wedding shots and other genres but as Al said, mainly used for architecture.

 

This illustrates one feature very well (changing the plane of focus): http://www.mattblumphotography.com/pblog/index.php?showimage=497

 

Here's some wedding examples: http://makelovereal.net/tilt-shift-wedding-photography/

 

Another good article here: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/tilt_and_shift_ts-e.html

 

If you're after similar effect for cheaper, the lensbaby is a novel little piece of kit too: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews_lensbaby.php

It allows you to do the opposite too though Baj... get MORE of a scene in focus, along a certain plane, than would otherwise be possible. Plus the Shift part, used to correct perspective... so it's not just a question of blur.
