You do not have to add anything after the "-d" as it calls exif to read
the date imprint left by the camera (exif header). IOW, when you take a
picture the camera includes metadata about it (date and time taken,
speed, exposure etc.) which can then be read.

You can just include the date like "-n holiday08042003" if you want, but
if you've got old pictures you might not remember when they were taken.

HTH,
