Tracing our orbital path onto a photo

Tracing our orbital path onto a photo

Jupiter and Venus were bright tonight in Chicago. I got to wondering, would it be possible to trace our three dimensional orbital path on this two dimensional photo? Venus is closer to the sun and Jupiter is farther. We (Earth and the moon) should split the difference between the paths traced by the two planets here, right? What does that path look like projected onto this photo?
