Weird thing about this image is when I scroll up and down on my computer the clouds move on this image. TOTALLY FREAKY!

Location
We were in Morocco, travelling between Taroudan and Ouarzazat. This bus was chasing us.Time
I'm not sure but I thing it was around midday. I remember to have been hungry while shooting this imageLighting
The weather was strange and light also. This image has been shooted just before a storm when the black clouds invaded the sky without winning the fight with the sunlight.Equipment
I was travelling with my Canon 1Ds-mkII and the 28-300L lens.Inspiration
I was lucky this time. We were supposed to travel alone. But a bus has took the same road at the same moment. The dusty road and the clouds have created an amazing atmosphere. I was not supposed to take photos at this moment, but I've decided to get my camera out of my bag and... voila.Editing
Yes, there's post-processing, but always the minimum. Not because of this dogme that said that you should never modify an image (images are modified since the photography exists), but because I'm not really confident with this. I, usually, use Lightroom. On this particular image, I've used masking (on the bus) and I've added some drama on the sky with a gradiant filter.In my camera bag
When I'm travelling, I've got my camera (now a 1Dx), my 28-300 lens, a 80mm f/1.2 for protraits, and the 50mm f/1.4 when I need a light configuration. I also bring several 32Gb memory cards, card reader and my laptop.Feedback
When you're in the middle of an amazing lanscape, take your camera, make a photo, trust your instinct. But do not forget to treat the composition of the image even if you're short in time or you may ruin your picture.
