Who took the photo? I heard a report that said the accompanying aircraft (F-16?) were one-seaters, not the typical pilot/gunner escorts.

Fighters use wing pods (attached to a missile hardpoint) to take photos.

This was taken from the cockpit, not a wingpod. The hue and saturation of colors are totally off due to the canopy tinting, plus you can see the edge of the cockpit and the reflection off the inside of the canopy.
