The image combines two captures, both exposed for transparency, and a flatbed scan.

[Composite image derived from Epson flatbed scanner and two Nikon D300 captures, one at 3 seconds and one at 1 second. Both captures: 105mm f2.8 macro lens (157.5mm in 35mm terms), f/36 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
