This is about the best I’ve been able to do with it. It’s much more impressive in person.
Um, Niskayuna isn’t in New England. While New York is a lot like New England in most areas, you don’t want to confuse the two, especially around the wrong sort of people. Both sides of the border can be a little sensitive about such things. 😉
High dynamic range photography could probably do justice to that second picture. The current version of photoshop even comes standard with a plugin to do it.
