[QUOTE="mhphoto, post: 1949259, member: 6288"] I have absolutely no qualms with the idea behind it, but I seriously doubt that it would work. If the sensor is detecting the flash, the picture's being taken. If it uses xenon flash tubes to "blind" the camera, the time it would take for the voltage to kick up enough light to light the tubes to full brightness would probably take longer than the picture would take to, well, take. So the end result would probably be a perfectly exposed picture of your plate with the beginning stages of arcing inside the flash tubes on the device. LEDs would be faster to light up, but even then, that would have to be one quick system to beat the camera. [/QUOTE]
