Various visual cues suggest that the visual effects MAY be caused 
mainly by a large aperture long focal length lens focused in precisely 
the right position. Depth of field in such cases can be close to zero. 
Unlike most photos involving airborne aeroplanes, the position of the 
subject in this case is known very very very accurately in advance, or 
else. If the subject was very slightly off the focus point then the 
resultant photo would be so stunning and horrifying that the lack of 
precise focus would be a minor matter.
