A long exposure you play with your hand. Your photo is the film.. the light comes from your own highlights.
-
HoldThe shutter opens and light starts streaming. The longer you hold, the more it builds.. the counter at the bottom is your exposure time.
-
Drag while holdingSteer the light. It follows your hand, like a camera moving during a long exposure.
-
Hold on one of her lightsIt charges up, then ignites into a burst with a shockwave. Its star spikes grow with the exposure.
-
Touch the lakeRipples run across the water and catch the sky.
-
Keep holdingHer own light goes to the max first: the larches glow. Then the wind finds the lake, and the whole frame dissolves into moving water.. the other side.
-
On the other sideHere the whole frame becomes water: even the stones dissolve. One living lake that mirrors her world, the larch gold far out, the snowy ridge, the sky in front, all bending and breaking as the swell rolls in. Every few seconds a gust sweeps across and the mirror shatters into gold, then slowly goes still again. Tap the water for rings, flick across it to skip a stone, drag through it to leave a wake. Tap a rock and a pulse runs through its grain; hold one and let go to send a wave from it. Let go here and it stays alive: after a few quiet seconds the text fades, ready for a screen.
-
Let goThe shutter clicks shut and the piece freezes exactly where you left it.. halfway or fully across. Hold again to go further, double-tap to return to the photo.
-
Leave it aloneAfter a minute untouched the lake wakes up by itself, stays alive there for two minutes, then comes home and rests again. Touch it at any moment to take over.
-
Every bid leaves a lightEach bid skips a stone of light across the water and lands in it; its rings stay. The top bidder's stone rests on the big boulder. The more someone bids and the higher they go, the brighter it burns.. the winner brightest of all. In the last hour the light turns to blue hour.
