Press photography, videography @SWNS / @RossParryPressA. All tweets my own etc, especially if they're naughty.

Lockdown restrictions are loosening, allowing people the opportunity to play with their balls together in the sun.

@BenJonesPicEd @SWNS @TelegraphPics @Telegraph @TelegraphNews Thanks guys. The onions were definitely out in that room.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@MarcSettle Mate you've really crossed the line this time.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@MediaWiseMJ Best route from Bristol is via Salisbury Cathedral and its 123m spire.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@FestivalofIdeas I remember doing a piece on it as a student journo, thinking I'd never cover anything so odd ever again. Guess that thought didn't age well.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

Canada Goose trying to muscle in on firm territory - I think @thenorthface and I need to have a chat, we all know who makes the real snapper jacket...

Really bloody useful @DPD_UK, especially in a shared house. So much information to go on...

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@MarcSettle As far as I understand it, the phone is just able to decide which bits should be left dark and colourful etc. A 'basic' HDR tends to give a washed out, flat image until it's edited. Plus I think the iphone takes a ton of frames to help this out.

@ApprovedFood you'd better apologise again. Everyone in the room wet themselves ;)

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

There’s definitely something wrong here.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@DannyLawPhoto @BBCNews @AllieHBNews Somehow no. Page 6.

@YorksAmbulance Hi - could you follow back for a DM please, or allow an open DM? Thanks!

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@WYP_RPU Did you hear it going ‘wee wee wee wee’ as it left?

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@MarcusKeppel @TomJBeasley @tpa_smith @philchamberlain @Grobern Even the ‘transparent’ police hearings are usually awful. Some even get held with reporters in different buildings via a terrible video link. But as for courts, I’d unscientifically say that I’m far less likely to get a shot of a bent cop.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@MarcusKeppel @TomJBeasley @tpa_smith @philchamberlain @Grobern Also worth noting re. Justice reporting - in my experience, police officers on trial are usually able/allowed to avoid photographers, either by getting out the back doors of a court (with or without permission) or else the fed helping them out and hindering us.

[Alex Cousins @FlyZanzibar]

@MarcusKeppel @TomJBeasley @tpa_smith @philchamberlain @Grobern Now and again, depending on the story. Freelancers won’t bother unless they’re on order or it’s a massive case. Local papers often get pics from us or vice versa (we syndicate lots). We’re all confident we’ll get someone if they’re not in custody though.

[Marcus Keppel @MarcusKeppel]

Great to see the Press Gazette picking up on our first report on local media reporting of Magistrates’ Courts. Join us at Future of Journalism Conference for further findings. @tpa_smith @philchamberlain @Grobern
