The first one is very nice.

What happened in the second one? There is a church steeple suspended in mid air.

Are you setting camera exposure manually? There are noticeable transitions visible in the sky.

not having enough exposures for the panorama to overlap properly. I had
one do that to me once when I tried a panorama with only 3 exposures.
Normally that transition is caused by a cloud blocking the sunlight for
a second or two, or the lens being pointed more directly toward the sun
than the previous shot...

Regarding the noticeable transitions, there don't appear to be any clouds in the sky.

My guess is that the exposure setting changed in moving from left ot right. One clue is that the wall of the building on the right is much lighter than the wall of the building in the middle, even though they are at pretty much the same angle to the sun. If the exposure was the same for each, the walls would be equally bright, and the sky as well.

I'm very impressed with the photo stitching in WLPG. So far, I've only done one panorama, 4 shots taken handheld and expsoure on automatic. WLPG was able to blend the photos almost perfectly. Previous experience with other stitching programs was not as good.

The sun was really low. I had to sacrifice the weird transitions in the sky
so the buildings would be visible. I had two choices.... Weird sky or dark
building. I guess I could go into PS and fix.

Next time, I will take the shots when the sun is high so the light is more
even.
