Today, I wanted to show the same scene three times, all with the Sigma 15-30 mm (and, of course, the A99 body)

The first shot was taken with a focal of 15mm (bottom cropped away); the distortions of the two domes at the extremes are horrible.

 

 

The second shot was done using the same lens, with a focal of 20, but using the A99's Sweep Panorama feature: why is it that I always have these vertical color discrepencies in the sky (due to an automatic change in aperture, which I can't control ?...)

 

Finally, the third shot is the same, but where I was able to use my computer's photo software (Aperture) Skin Smoothing feature to clean up the sky. Much better, isn't it ?
