The other half of "tack sharp photos." Sometimes both are present in a single frame.
I enjoyed this photographer's work. The parts in and out of focus. Landscapes and portraits. vladimir longauer imaginarium - land-water-urban-scapes daydreaming... vladimir longauer imaginarium - Portraiture
Enjoy!

I have no idea. He is a member of the Large Format Forum, so...............maybe he's using a view camera?

Is that not the effect of a tilt-shift lens? | | | |

The square format leads me to think he is using something like a Hassleblad flexbody.

Some clues here: Flickr: [vla:d]'s Photostream Vladimir Longauer Valdoo on deviantART
So... maybe the Pentacon six with Tilt Shift lens Pentacon Six: tilt lenses
Or one of his other med format cams? I don't know enough about med format cams to even guess.
But, I enjoyed seeing his work! Excellent.
