Yeah, that original was just begging for the tilt-shift treatment. And it's a great one, particularly ensuring that Big Ben (well, St Stephen's tower, really) is picked out.

Eep! Really great one.

The orginal pic was blurry and had to conceal it and ended up ruining the whole photo with contrast. But ironically that worked just fine for the tilt-shift.

not bad at all.....looks good. i think this one came out better than the other, this shot seems to be a better subject and composed for a mini tilt... neat work

You mean the Eltz castle? I like the Kensal Green traffic tilt most of these first 5 I've done. This was the second ever tilt-shift attempt for me and not perfect result (the tower's lines are bit weird looking where out of focus and sharp area change).

Which is the process for the fake tilt shift? I've only run them analogically, so the blur is already on the negative... (just found a tutorial here, I just skip some bits and hold the lens by hand).

You draw a depth map in Quick Mask Mode, then switch to normal mode and the artificial lens blur is added according to the depth map. Some dorks use Gaussian Blur and it really doesn't do the trick. Lens Blur can be found in Adobe Photoshop CS and newer versions. (Some people use Paintshop or Gimp.)

A correction to Overoften's comment and a tag:
This is not St. Stephen's Tower. This is officially known simply as the Clock Tower. St. Stephen's Tower is the tower above the Members' Entrance into St. Stephen's Hall. (I was Research Assistant to the Labour Party Spokesman on Trade & Industry in 1993.)

It is an extremely common misperception that either the Clock Tower or the Central Tower, the octagonal spired tower above the Central Lobby, is officially named "St. Stephen's Tower." I do not know how these erroneous interpretations began, but they are certainly pervasive.
