Photo of the Week by GIULIO57

Sorry but EXIF data are wrong. I took this picture using my PENTAX K20d and PENTAX lens 55-300 set at 230 mm. Camera on tripod. I don't know why in these last weeks camera asks for resetting Date and Time immediately after I switch it on. Batteries are good. I recharge batteries regularly.
Can you suggest me the reason of this strange behaviour?
Anyway I took this picture on Sept. 4th, 2025 about 16 o'clock. Place: close to Montalcino. Perhaps my camera was drunk!
Five different pics merged toghether in Photomatix . Details Enhacer mode.

Great composition coupled with a lovely, subtle palette

Amazing landscape really draws me into the picture.

Regarding the loss of memory I imagine the small battery for (Keep Alive Memory) has reached the end of its life. I have heard of some users dismantling the camera to replace the battery. You may not find the exact same battery but you may find one that would fit. See the link here link

I've never really had a satisfying result with a daytime landscape HDR but this is just magnificent!

With the tree acting as an anchor the field boundaries lead one all around the image and then you start to look again.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Nice, and I like the style contrast compared to your more usual really amazingly vivid landscape images which I like as well!
