I'm not seeing anything in that image that couldn't be done with a single, long exposure (say, ten seconds or so; maybe less) and routine processing. Exposure details would depend on the ambient lighting.I am wondering if it is possible to shoot a photo like one below (from National Geographic) by a regular DSLR camera? What kind of settings are used? I am thinking of maybe long exposure... Appreciate verification and tips.

Thanks, Dawg.
I assume all the processing and adjustments you indicated are done post-double exp and overlay, not in-camera.
Now the "artsy and fidgety" taste of the photo, I believe, is done purposely as it's probably part of a wedding assignment. I was just interested in the double-exp and overlay effects.
I have only used the double exposure function in my D300 a couple of times. I found it looked odd because the second image looked transparent, which is necessary to show both images. It worked for my benefit because I was using the images on a website for a haunted house, and it added to the ghost-like appearance we were going for.
I found the article, and according to the author, it is just in-camera overlay using a Nikon D750. However, that doesn't mean they didn't do a bunch of stuff in post as well. If it is just Nikon's overlay, then it is a crap-shoot to get 2 images that line up the way you hope. The app for your Sony sounds better since you can see what you are doing.Some cameras will allow you to see the multiple exposure overlay while it's happening, so lining things up is far easier (I have a Sony that I bought an app for that allows you to do it), including selecting a choice of blend modes.
That said, both of these examples have strong evidence for being done in post, though if someone has played with it enough then the wedding shot is indeed doable.
