mixing with ambient light

i am still practicing how to control my strobe. Here's a shot with camera's built in flash as a commander with a a null light equivalent and a strobe placed on top of the table at the left side (the shadows will tell you that). Strobe is on manual at 1/16th power. Camera's f4 and at 1/10th of a second. i'm having problems on how to get more of the ambient light in. I don't have a light meter (yet) i'm only basing my readings from the histogram of my cam. if you have an idea, feel free to leave a message. thanks!

New York Institute of Photography

To get my ass started with Photography i have enrolled myself in an institution far away from home. Modules are sent via mail (snail mail). It takes about a month before you get the first set of modules and the other set would be sent to you after another month. So far, I'm halfway into finishing the short course in Photography. I'm having second thoughts whether to enroll in the Professional course that they offer or go for another school like the Picture Perfect School of Photography (PPSOP) established by Bryan Peterson because it has amazing reviews. Let me think about it first and let me show you some pictures I've taken for the projects I've finished for the short course.
