After tonemapping, I had to clone out a bunch of rainspots, then applied Camiel's Antique 01 Preset.

When I saw these shots afterwards, I didn't have much hope for them.  Tons of clouds, hardly any texture and practically zero color.  Thought I might be able to salvage some value with a 2-exposure tonemap.  The results instantly reminded me of old-timey shots of the area that I had seen at the Boulder Draft House at dinner last week.  Luckily, Antique 01 just about captures what I saw perfectly.
