This 7-hour workshop covers all major Polonnaruwa monuments through changing light conditions from dawn to late afternoon. You'll shoot the same sites at different times of day, learning how angle and intensity transform the same subject into distinct compositions. The guide provides real-time composition critique, exposure advice, and post-processing direction. Covering Gal Vihara, the Quadrangle, Rankoth Vehera, and the Royal Palace, this tour treats the entire site as a photography curriculum rather than a sightseeing loop. Best for serious hobbyists wanting varied light conditions. It takes 7 hours and is rated moderate.
