While photographing Hummingbirds one day, I noticed that these two reddish plants with yellow flowers were really close to each other. I thought that they were going to be too close to each other to make for good photographs. However, this photograph proves that I was wrong. They were, in fact, the perfect distance apart. Just for this one photograph, though, as they balance out the framing of this Green Thorntail quite nicely.

I don’t use Photoshop. Nor do I use “remove tools” within the program I do use to process my photos called Lightroom. I don’t alter my photos to remove, delete, or get rid of objects in my photographs. Therefore, thinking about how crowded a space is is very important for me to try and avoid unwanted items within my frame. It’s much easier to not worry about unwanted items and just remove them with software afterwards. I could do that. I have the capability and I’m very good at it. But, as I mentioned, I don’t edit my photos. I simply develop them and show you what I captured as it actually was. It’s a challenge I’m sticking with even though other photographers have tried to change my mind.
