Colourful Market in Morocco

When I stumbled about these baskets in a souk (market) in Marrakech, I was curious about the purpose of the colourful fillings. The shop owner was very honest with me: They are just for decoration to attract tourists and to make them visit the spice store inside! The baskets made a great photo motive though.

Wow! You get some impressive dynamic range. I look forward to seeing more Marrakech photos. You just don't see a lot from there.

Sorry for the duplicate posts earlier. I cleaned those up for you. I'll get some people to upvote you to make up for it.

Also, I noticed you used minimal. Are there any fields in there that you think are still too much?

Thank you! I love the dynamic range of the Sony sensor that's in my Nikon. I think I am going actually going to post another Marrakech photo today!
I noticed the double-post earlier and wanted to report the bug, but then I got distracted and forgot about it, sorry. Thanks for the upvotes!

I have actually hoped for something like this project for a while. I used to manually write the basic EXIF data in the caption of my photo for quite some time, but at some point I got too lazy, so I had the idea to create a tool where I could paste the post markdown before posting and the tool would then automatically create EXIF captions for each photo. Your bot is a fantastic option! Can I actually call your bot by mentioning it in the post itself instead of in a comment? In this case, I would add a line like "For the Exif Data of this photo, see the comment by @ exifr" to my post template.

For me, it would actually be enough to only have DateTime, ExposureTime, FNumber, ISOSpeedRatings and FocalLength in the "minimal" command.

Thank you for the time and effort work that you put into developing great tools such as exifr!

This week, I'll be pushing out a release that will allow you to do that. Sometime this week, you'll be able to automatically get exifr data in your post on submit

Amazing! I just tried it out in the post I posted just now and I even got a triple-reply this time, but without any exif data in the table.

One small correction to my suggestion for "minimal" above: I would use DateTimeOriginal instead of DateTime in the minimal command

Hahaha so that's what they're for 😅

Interesting that they use that they use decorations to attract the tourists. You would have though the colours of the spices themselves would be attractive enough themselves.

But as you say, they make a great, photograph. Lovely capture @jpphotography! 😊

Thank you :) The spices are indeed fascinating, but there are so many shops selling them! So if they want to be stand out and be successful, the shop owners really have to set up colourful tourist traps :D

😍 😍 Lol that's a smart shop owner- this would work on me in 1 second flat

There are so many shops in the souk selling exactly the same products, so the shop owners need to be really good salesmen! But this one was especially smart ;)

Awesome colors and very good strategy for convinced the cuatomers.

It sure is!

Smart shop owner and honest! It does make an incredible photo.

Very smart indeed! Thanks for your comment :)

Really cool! Are those little wrapped candies, or.. ? Surely the shop owner is selling whatever decorations he's presenting :)

I think they are all natural products, mostly flowers. And he probably is selling them indeed!

Great colorful shot!!

Before to read the description I asked me what spices was those 😅

Really looks so attractive.

Exactly, I also thought at first that they were some kind of spices :D
