I would like to do some coping, scanning actually but a scanner is to slow. An alternative is to take a picture of the items in question (pages out of an old book that is falling apart). If I build a rig to do this I would need something to hold the pages down flat, like a sheet of glass.

Question. Is there any way to minimized/stop the reflection of a flash.

Is there a better way to do this then to use glass, I'm assuming that there is a way to do this without a flash by proper lighting but this is out of my range of knowledge. Would this still have a reflection from the glass.
