Via lens, tilt-shift or perspective control. Yes you can do it in post as well.

You can easily do this in photoshop too. Basically you blur the top and bottom, feather it into the middle where its in focus. Plenty of tutorials out there that go into more detail.

i have a filter for it, but it doesn't look as natural as a real tilt shift... (Alien Skin Bokeh)

All your responses have been really helpful.
This is why I <3 AT

Thanks everyone! I'm going to see if I can rent one of these lenses and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again!
