Applicable to images, the `Exif` method on an image `Resource` object returns an [EXIF] object containing image metadata.

## Methods

Date
: (`time.Time`) Returns the image creation date/time. Format with the [`time.Format`]function.

Lat
: (`float64`) Returns the GPS latitude in degrees.

Long
: (`float64`) Returns the GPS longitude in degrees.

Tags
: (`exif.Tags`) Returns a collection of the available EXIF tags for this image. You may include or exclude specific tags from this collection in the [site configuration].

## Examples

To list the creation date, location, and EXIF tags:

```go-html-template
{{ with resources.Get "images/a.jpg" }}
  {{ with .Exif }}
    <p>Date: {{ .Date }}</p>
    <p>Lat/Long: {{ .Lat }}/{{ .Long }}</p>
    {{ with .Tags }}
      <p>Tags</p>
      <table>
        <thead>
          <tr><th>Tag</th><th>Value</th></tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
