Both, I think, because you are doing exactly what I tried to explain ;) 
And that can be achieved at least by cropping (or rendering only a 
certain region), as you did in your example.

The trick is very useful when, for example, you try to take a photograph 
of a building.

1. If you level your camera and point it straight forward, you might not 
see the top portion of the building.

2. If you point the camera upwards, the building does not look 
rectangular anymore: all the lines start to "converge".

3. If you level your camera, point it straight forward (as in no 1.), 
and shift the film lower (maintaining the alignment) in relation to the 
lens, you will see the whole building with straigh walls that do not 
converge.

I posted 3 simple examples at p.b.i. They are all rendered so that the 
camera is allways at the same spot.
