    My son showed me this photo and asked how do they do it? I think they must have used some type of bubble lense, was I on the right track??

    ...or a panoramic camera. Saw a few in the UK which are used to take 360 degree views of stadiums, houses on show, etc.

    It might be a cropped fisheye shot, but it seems more likely it was either a panoramic camera on its side, or a whole bunch of photos stiched together. It's a pretty neat shot.
