Indeed..no self respecting picnicker would use it.., unlike Hyde Park which is another ( real) Park in Central London
There are 2 Tube stations, Countless Buses, A Small Shopping Mall, Market all within 500 yards of the Place
Not too far off is Westfield Shopping Centre
I guess Top marks for " seeing creatively"

I think my candid shots give a more accurate view of what life is like down the Bush

What does the "ptlens" s/w do ?

Thanks Jim. PTLENS is an application that allows you to remove the distortion you get when using wide angle lenses (it does some a couple of other uses, but that is what it is mostly used for). TBH it is similar to the functionality you get in PSE 6 (and presumably later versions), but it was cheap

I kind of browsed that but on second looks that is Shepherds Bush as I know it
Amazing,same place different perspective...

As I said its all about seeing creatively,
That is a quality that is largely unrelated to kit

Canons DPP also has settings to correct for lens abbertions and has presets for some specific Canon lenses
