I had to look twice at this, as I did not actually see a six wheeler in Camden. I have a Panasonic TZ60. Set on intelligent auto i.e. point and shoot, it evaluates the scene and uses the best guess inbuilt pre-set. Sometimes it does stupid things. What has happened here is that I have taken the picture into the light (see shadows). The camera treats this as a backlit scene and rather than adjusting the exposure, it takes more pictures until the actual scene is correctly exposed according it its programmes. It appears that it gets a fix on static items e.g. the yellow stripes in the road, but if something has significant relative motion, there are multiple exposures at different locations. Thus the Jazz was travelling to me and the rear ghost is the first exposure. This can mean that under tricky lighting (for a point and shoot) there may be some interesting double exposure effects. The exif data shows 1/640 at f4.5, ISO 200.
Alternatively, this picture was what I saw after a purchase in Camden Market.
