Ive been reading up on the subject too...my understanding is... Think of it as two exposures. One exposure for the ambient and one exposure for the flash. If the exposure for the ambient is "correct". If you now adjust the flash exposure it will be independent to the ambient exposure. ie...

Hi All Been getting my head around flash lighting and Stumbled upon this great video that maybe useful to others too...It demonstrate High speed sync and normal flash exposure. Using the base sunny F16 rule. Interpreting guide numbers in Flash and a bit about the exposure triangle...

Just checking...On an Apple iMac when editing images is there an "ideal" brightness to set the monitor to...at the moment I have been editing at full brightness is this correct ?

Thanks all for the earlier reply it all helping towards my understanding :) Yeah I understand the ST E2 trigger is old technology and radio setup is the way to go...the book I have mentioned even older tech like pc cords and green coloured Sonia optical slaves devices for manual off camera...
