looking at the pic in the link, what is that thing attached to the RW endplate in the curve. it looks like a camera housing.

Much bigger shot of F2012

:wtf: That engine cover fin is transparent on that picture :wtf:

You can see the RW throug it. Some image artifact ?
Or perfectly lined up reflection from the other side. Certainly an interesting photo!
Brighter objects take less time to register on a digital camera's CCD than darker images, so it is likely that the "transparency" is simply the background being registered in the brief exposure time that occurs after the moving car has already passed. I have witnessed very similar effects when taking photos of dancers in nightclubs, which have gone to the extreme of merging two people into a single body!

that thing on the RW endplate again. from what ive seen it looks like its only on the left side so must be some kind of testing apparatus.

Its because the end plates are symetrical, so you think the fin is transparant because the reflection of one end plate shows the exact same thing as the end plate which is hidden by the fin.
