Observations: The sentence has semantic issues. Present/ show/ display/ are verbs that may be used depending on the construction and context of the sentence. "Presented all the moving scenes", though ,seemed a bit awkward to me. But In general, an "exhibit" of this nature is understood to be a presentation of something of significance or one's best work, which doesn't need the mentioning of "present" because the word "exhibit" already implies that. With is pretense, we can just simply say what MM suggested: we held an exhibit of ......our photographs...."

Moving scene - can be interpreted as an emotional scene in a movie. But it is not a common word in modern English, if you meant to say non-still photographs.
That said, general perception is, a moving scenes is now called "video". So we video an event but we photograph a scene, like crime scene.
