Experiment with Blacks

Camera Built-in Light Meter indicated that the image would require a shutter speed of 125th of a second.

I found that this was a little too dark as she is wearing black clothes that blend into the black background.  I made it a slower shutter speed of a 100th of a second to bring out any detail missing.

250th of a second created an image that was too dark and the detail in the clothes and hair was lost.

A 50th of a second shows more detail within the shadows but much detail is lost in the highlights and mid-tones (the tones of the subject's skin).
