Dong was given the Sir Patrick Moore Prize as Best Newcomer Joint Winner for his work Sky and Ground, Stars and Sand, which was taken at Pingluo county in Ningxia, with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera, 50 mm f/1.8 lens, ISO 250 and 60 x 25-second exposures, according to Dong.
"There is so much to enjoy about this picture: moonlight bathing the dunes in its silvery glow; the dramatic shadows seemingly sculpting the sand into cliffs and ravines; and the meeting of cosmic time and geological time," commented Melanie Vandenbrouck, curator of art at Royal Museums Greenwich.
Dong has been studying how to take astronomy photos for only about two years, and won a series of prizes for his works.
