A shortcut to record photography metadata as you're shooting

I wanted to be able to record location and other metadata as I walked around town making photographs so that when I get back to my computer I can reference metadata and add it using Metapho or whatever metadata/EXIF editor I’d like to use.

So I made this shortcut, and I’m happy with it except for the fact that it doesn’t run on my Apple Watch because of this error.

I cleaned up all the variables to use smart variables instead and replaced the information text you had in a text field and put it in a comment field instead (comment fields are just informational and don’t affect the shortcut). It seems to be working for me. Try it and let me know if it works for you.
