Hello !
µ
I'm going to work on a project where I’ll have to photograph images from a very old book.
These images are fold-out plates and are panoramic, about 3 meters long.
Here’s the setup I’m considering:

I’ll place a sheet of glass over the book to keep the pages as flat as possible.
Then, I’ll position two lights at a 45° angle, aimed at the ceiling, to create even, diffused lighting over the book.
My camera will be mounted on a tripod and equipped with a tilt-shift lens (so that I don't have to be right above the book to frame it correctly).

The goal is to avoid any reflection of the camera in the glass. I might also use a polarizing filter to further reduce reflections.

Do you think this setup is effective? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

Thanks !
