The photo is correctly exposed, and since using a tripod there is no problem of motion blur but the photos still come out dull.

At times the amount of light does matter, others it’s direction, and yet in another situation neither are hinging factors. This may be the mystery and art of photography and the very reason for a lack of a cut-and-dry “do it like this” if-this, then-that formula to making a great photo. But I believe it is this unsolvable mystery that has drawn so many of us into this great medium.

I was out shooting today and overexposed some of the photos; I retook the photos and, when I viewed them on the computer, I could see the difference. The amount of light impacted the photos.

I have been looking for any document or study about this with no luck. It would be nice if more readers could post links that help clarify this.
