Bewildered!

I attended a Speedlite course today and all that reading that I was hoping  would pay off, didn't make a jot of difference!! How can it be so complex? 

It probably didn't help that there were twelve people on the course and there was 10 different camera/flash combinations. The tutor was incredible and certainly knew his products but I think I need to give up and start knitting instead go away and practice daily for the next 12 months. 

This is the very lovely Chloe. She was extremely professional and patient and I'd love to work with her again.
