At 1:30 pm on September 23, 2023, the University of Macau Moon Chun Memorial College Photography Interest Group held its first activity of the school year. The group invited Yang Xi, a student from Cheng Yu Tong College, to provide basic photography skills training for students.

Prior to the event, students filled out registration forms with questions about camera usage and photo taking tips. Yang shared her own photography learning experience and answered these questions by explaining camera operational parameters, techniques, and mobile phone photography functions. During the explanation process, she used her own collections as examples to analyze and guide her peers on how to adjust their mobile phone and camera parameters face-to-face.

After the explanation of basic skills, Yang also recommended various resources for self-study of photography techniques and encouraged everyone to enhance their photography abilities from both aesthetic and technical perspectives by going out and taking photos and “pressing the shutter 10,000 times.” The students showed their interest in photography and discussed the self-made image collection brought by Yang after the event.
