I'll share with you a little post-processing trick I used to improve the contrast and colors on the shots I linked to. It is a variation of the split-tone process for black and white. I use The GIMP, but you should be able to approximate it on any other decent processing software that allows layers:
1. Make two duplicates of the base layer.
2. Make two blank layers, any color (we're going to change them)
3. Using "bucket fill", color one blank layer orange and the other a medium brown
4. Arrange the layers to you have from top to bottom: orange, base copy, brown, base copy, base.
5. Select the orange layer, blend mode "Overlay", merge down.
6. On that merged layer, add layer mask as "grayscale copy of image"
7. Repeat #5 and #6 for the brown layer, but make the layer mask in inverted grayscale copy
8. Select the orange layer, blend mode "Divide" and adjust to about 60~70%. This will allow you to manipulate the blues of the sky and the highlights in general.
9. Select the brown layer, blend mode "Addition" if you really need to bring out the shadows. Otherwise, try "Hard Light" or some of the other modes. Again, about 60~70% is good.
10. If you want to adjust the saturation, add a new white layer, select blend mode "Saturation" and adjust the percentage to your taste.
Then you just merge all visible layers and do whatever else you normally do, such as curves, USM, etc.
You might want to get a piece of black paper or something to put over the red window to reduce the chance of fogging the film. Just tape it on and double one edge of the tape under a little bit to make it easy to lift it up and put it back between shots.
