Richard,
Put your copy stand vertically on the wall at eye level and shoot horizontally
at it from atop your tripod.
Use a metal copy stand-any iron sheet metal will do, as you know-and get some
strips of thin, flexible magnetic plastic such as some refrigerator-magnets are
made of and use them to hold the papers to be copied to the metal stand.
I used to have such a copy stand that came with magnetic strips.
Shoot standing up and save your back.
Best,
Bill
