Any photographers out there may be aware of "tilt-shift photography". This method can be added using a special tilt-shift lens or in post processing. The method allows you to focus on a specific point or to simulate a miniature scene. I have recently been asked to take some photographs during our church services to be used on our new website. I was able to use the method in post processing to "blur" out the faces of any children in the photos for child protection purposes.
Today I was in Portavogie harbor with my camera and took a photo of my brother-in-law's trawler. I then was able to add the tilt-shift effect using the graduated filter function in Lightroom 4. Where the graduated filter is often used with exposure it can also be used with many other settings including sharpness.

Applying the method post processing in LR4 is obviously not as good as using an actual tilt-shift lens but it does still help to highlight a specific point in the photo.
