This image is a view from inside the cab of a Kawasaki bucket loader.   Being greater than a  180 degree view, the shot is built out of multiple images, stitched together into a panorama.   Besides the 180 degree plus view from left to right, it’s also beyond a normal range of view from top to bottom, making it a panorama in 2 directions.  There are lots of simple panorama programs on the market — you can even make ones on your smart phone — but not ones like this.  Photoshop can’t even make this without hours of fine tuning and a lot of individual image manipulation.  It’s one of the most technically complicated things I do.
