When a viewer suggested that one of Adams' photographs looked abstract, Adams corrected him- "I prefer the term 'extract' over 'abstract', since I cannot change the optical realities but only manage them."
In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area (the image plane illuminance times the exposure time) reaching a photographic film or electronic image sensor, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture and scene luminance. Exposure is measured in lux seconds, and can be computed from exposure value (EV) and scene luminance in a specified region.
