Tutorial 10 delivers 2 tutorials for the price of 1. And the price of one is free anyway. This is a local landmark visible from my office here in Cheshire, UK. Mow Cop Castle is actually a folly built to look like a castle ruin from nearby stately home Rode Hall.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to produce this high contrast, low colour version as well as my more usual B&W, albeit this time with a sepia tritone gradient map. Expect to see lots more of my usual image planning, contrast and light work as well as some smart work in reducing and simplifying the colours in the image. We'll add a diffuse glow and some dodging and burning before adding a vignette and doing the B&W conversion.
