EXIF Support in Hugo

I was delighted to see that Hugo has built-in support for EXIF data. And thankfully, it seems to do most of the hard work for us. This is great, as EXIF data is pretty complicated to parse.

The easiest path forward is to utilize a Hugo shortcode template. These small snippets can be placed right in your markdown files, and when the processing logic builds your site, they will be replaced with whatever you define them as. What’s more, they can take parameters.

Create a Hugo site using the beautiful Ananke theme.

It is required to have Git installed to run this tutorial.
