How do people make these kinds of shots? where different things are focused and the DOF is like, perfect and it almost looks like a photo of a model set

It's a technique called Miniaturization (because it looks like a photo of a model set).

If you want to take a photo like that in real life, you'll need to get a decent quality camera and a lens that lets you control the f-stop value (f-stop is just the ratio of lens diameter to focal length). Lower f-stop values will narrow the range of the depth of field, causing a much smaller portion of the scene to be in focus. For example: f-stop of 2.8 has a very narrow depth of field, and most things will be out of focus. f-stop of 24.0 has a very wide depth depth of field and most things will be in focus. Most good cameras will automatically adjust the exposure time to compensate for the f-stop values, but if you don't have a camera that automatically adjusts exposure time, be aware that you'll need to decrease your exposure time with lower f-stop values.

If you want to take a screenshot like that in Skyrim, you'll need to download an ENB which has either Matso's Depth of Field, or my own Depth of Field (search for SkyRealism on SkyrimNexus). Open the enbeffectprepass.fx file and change the fApertureScale or fCameraAperture. Higher values will give you a narrower depth of field.

Cheers!

Hey just wanted to chip in my advice.

I have never heard of the technique you are asking about being called 'miniaturization', but rather tilt-shift. To some extent its about f-stop or depth of field, buts it more about tilting a certain area into focus which just depth of field wont achieve. If it was just f-stop that achieved this then any camera and lens could do it. What you would need to achieve this in real life photography is a tilt shift lens which is essentially a crooked lens. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:24mm-tilt-lens.jpg) To achieve this in game I'm sure IndigoNeko method would work I just wanted to explain a bit more about the technique. You could also google "tilt-shift online tools" or use Photoshop to alter your Skyrim images or videos. Using Photoshop rather than a lens in real life has annoyed the so called purist photographers to no end.

There's another way
