The photos, however, were taken by the walk-down crew. They're engineers and photo-documentarians who go to the shuttle after the fueling is complete and survey the external tank with IR cameras, binoculars, and cameras - to check for ice etc. It is one of them who will have taken the photo of the bat.

They leave before launch, and get several miles away before ignition.
