The risk of coronavirus infection has made us all more aware of whether we ourselves — and others — are too close to each other.
As you know, a picture says more than a thousand words. So that is why pictures of assembled Danes have played a part in the media.
This has caused photographer Ólafur Steinar Gestsson and a colleague to take a trip around Copenhagen to take pictures of people enjoying the good April weather — and although the two photographers pressed the camera button pretty much at the same time, the results were quite different.
The explanation for the difference lies in the choice of angle and different camera lenses: one is taken with a telephoto lens, the other with a wide-angle lens. The two lenses are “the extremes of the equipment you can use,” says Ólafur Steinar Gestsson.
