Hello.   I am using columns shortcode but would like to reduce the padding in the middle and top of  the column.  The top photo is not in a column.

Hello,

The site is currently only hosted on my computer (not live yet).   Here is a snippet of the code from the post.  The pictures are aligned in this format (from top to bottom)  1-2-1-2-1.  Only the two photo groups are in columns to help them scale and align in a single row.  I just want the two photos in the columns to be closer together.  If possible I'd also like to reduce the space between the photos above as well.  

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
