Blacked out shadows are generally an indication of a failure to generate a ‘faithful’ reproduction due to dynamic range limitations of the camera and/or display medium. There is a fair amount of research into how to work around these limitations through tone mapping. High Dynamic Range cameras and displays are also an area of active research. There’s not really anything to explain here beyond the fact that we currently lack the capture or display capability to faithfully reproduce such scenes.
