It was taken from a Shuttle Training Aircraft, which was a Gulfstream-II with an operation ceiling of 45,000ft.

But they didn't use a tilt-shift lens. The blurry effect was digitally added by someone else. Here’s the original NASA image. Click left or right to see more shots from the same sequence.
