VERY DOUBTFUL........ A cd is in effect a mirror, a mirror reflects
light according to the following "Angle of incendences equals the angle
of reflection" Meaning that if the flash comes from +30 deg's it reflects
at -30 deg's.... Besides it's too far from the plate and too small to do
anything....
