Into the Heart of Africa – A Trip to Rwanda
Recently I had the opportunity to travel to Rwanda in the heart of Africa. While in Rwanda I spent most of my time producing a video that will be used for training purposes around the world in developing nations so I did not have the luxury of being able to travel the country and take in all the sights. I did however manage to rack off a few shots while out in the field. We were able to visit a few farms in the rural area outside of Kigali, the capitol city of Rwanda.
On the trip we were pretty loaded down with various video, audio and computer equipment which did not leave alot of extra room for gear but I did manage to bring along my D300 and my trusty “do-it-all” Nikkor 18-200mm lens. With just the single lens I felt confident that I would be able to grab any picture I needed. Again, I cannot stress enough how versatile this lens is, as it covers you from 18mm wide angel to a 200mm telefocus.
While on our trip to the fields, we were surrounded by lots of curious onlookers as we shot our video. It was a wonderful opportunity to see some people out in there daily routine in the fields. Below are a bunch of images that I was able to grab while on assignment in Rwanda.

Hi Sean,
What beautiful pictures! There is a richness and depth about these images that almost have a 3-D effect. The fieldworkers appearance is so genuine and natural in their environment. I look forward to seeing more. Keep clicking Sean!
