These cameras had adjustable lens mount and back so we could change the focus plane. This meant that your DoF could be made "not parallel to the film plane if you wanted. The lens board could also be lifted to correct parallax for architectural photos.The technique we see here are imitations of tilt-shift movements, made in post processing involving creating a gaussian out of focus layer and then masking part of it so there is only a part of the picture that appears to be in focus.You can google "view camera tilt&shift" and also find some Youtube videos on how to try to reproduce this effect with Photoshop or elements.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
