NOTE: the exposure for the first photo stays the same for all subsequent photos.

The two photos are blended together. That is why you see the background behind the person. You would need to use something like Photoshop layers to blend without the background showing through the individual.

Here is a six exposure ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) jpg straight out of the camera without postprocessing.
I was about at close to the flowers as I could get and remain in focus.

Excellent.......Thanks for your reply and I'm now imagining the possibilities for this technique
 
and while you are in the experimenting mode...

While some people dismiss the Firmware 1.8.1 feature "IBIS: High resolution shot" due to the artifacts from movement, why not use the new feature as it was Not meant to be used? Photograph a moving subject.

That is a very interesting effect. I like it, and thanks for sharing.
 
WOW!!! That looks really cool, I had better update but the truth is that terrifies me. My friend and I who live like 600 kilometres apart and rarely see each other, set a new photography challenge each week so thanks for the couple of ideas (y)
