A way to see all the great photography from The Gazette and KCRG-TV9: Facebook

[Updated Friday night, Jan. 17] If you are on Facebook check out a page called Gazette & KCRG Visuals. The site showcases the great work our photographers produce on a daily basis and also lets you know some of the interesting things they are doing.

So few photos get published that it is a shame to let the others go unseen. The digital world has provided opportunities to resolve that.

One of the more interesting things posted there recently is a link to video and photos taken with cameras that Brian Ray, Mark Carlson and Matt Nelson mounted onto the wings of L-29 jets that University of Iowa researchers are using in conjunction with Rockwell Collins to study how pilots' brains function during combat.

We posted this package at TheGazette.com on Thursday, Feb. 16. A story and photos were planned for the Sunday, Feb. 19, Gazette newspaper's Iowa Today section.

Another interesting bit shows photographers Liz Martin and Cliff Jette in high places -- the rafters of Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, preparing for our coverage of the winter prep sports tournaments there. Lighting a huge arena for good photos is no easy task. Some spectacular photos on the Facebook page give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Liz and Cliff went about their work.

We also have launched a TheGazette.com blog for photos and videos. Visuals editor Rollin Banderob and his team pulled that together with our tech people. A link is in the right-hand column of this blog if you are reading on a laptop. Or, you can
