Tilt and Shift lens
Canon offers so-called Tilt and Shift Lenses. With these lenses you can control the angle of the focal plane and put most of the elements in your image (foreground and background) into the same focal plane.

Tilt and Shift lenses available in 35mm for Canon and Nikon systems don't let you use a tilt and a swing like view cameras. Instead you pivot the lens to determine the axis of the tilt.
Designed to mimic the effect of using a tilt and shift lens, Diorama blurs the upper and lower portions of the image. In movie mode, this places very high demands upon the E-5's processor, so frames are captured at a much slower rate than normal.
I used a small f/22 aperture and a tripod to mimic having a close object in sharp focus, as well as the distant horizon. Wide angle lenses do this better. Tilt and shift lenses would do a much better job.
This is how view and larger format cameras keep everything so sharp. There are some odd tilt and shift lenses available for smaller cameras to do the same thing.

This gives much better depth-of-field. Some 35mm and medium format systems offer tilt and shift lenses which allow lens movements similar to view cameras. These lenses can be used for increasing depth-of-field.
