title: Easy way to extract EXIF data in PowerShell?
body: <p>I've been looking at various methods that I can extract EXIF data using PowerShell, but I have so far seen that it is quite convoluted.
  Some <a href="http://blog.cincura.net/233463-renaming-files-based-on-exif-data-in-powershell/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="https://chrisjwarwick.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/modify-date-taken-values-on-photos-with-powershell-the-update-exifdatetaken-script-cmdlet-2/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a (relatively) simple method to extract basic EXIF data using powershell, so that I can use it natively.</p>
  
  <p>In particular, I am particularly interested in the <strong>Date Taken</strong> property and I am trying to find a method I can run this through <strong>Get-Date</strong>, and customise the formatting for my own needs.
  Something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$exifdatetaken = $mypicture.'Date taken' | Get-Date -Format yyyyMMdd-HHmmss
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if there is a way to do this natively in PowerShell?</p>
