Together, these two types of focus can really elevate a gallery to have a ton of emotion that they could not achieve if the gallery was only made up of one type of focus."*Marked explicit for swears!P.S. So sorry for some of the audio quality in this one! There's some thumping + background of my fluffy pups barking that I couldn't quite remove but hey! We're learning this together, lol.
