Of course the picture was taken with a normal lens. With PS, without
filters, you can create this effect quite easily.
Here's one tutorial:

If you Google Fake shift tilt, you can find some very funny, interesting
pictures. Specially those taken from above look like it's some miniature
street or scene.


This is fine if you want to reduce depth of field. However, a tilt/shift
lens is often used to increase depth of field. You cannot do that in
Photoshop with a single image.


A tilt/shift lens is primary used to correct perspective. A lens aperture
controls depth of field.


Lens shift changes perspective. Lens tilt tilts the plane of
focus. This is a quite a different effect from aperture related depth
of field.
