  • Taking photos with Parkinson's. 235

     10-16-2006, 4:03 PM

    Hello again;

    another elderly friend has Parkinson's, and both her hands shake badly. She used to enjoy taking photos, but now it seems impossible.

     

    I suggested she might try using a small tripod (of the tabletop variety) and prop it on her chest (somewhat like the butt of a rifle when taking aim), and she tried but it was not stable enough.

     

    If someone can come up with a better idea, please let me know. Unlike some other of my elderly friends and relatives, this lady is very good at coping with complicated gadgetry - the problem is only her hands.

     

    Thanks in advance -

    Leszek
