Here is an easier batch to use. Just drop a folder containing photos 
onto it and the batch will add folders named for the date the pictures 
were taken into the original folder.

@Echo off
Setlocal
If "%~1" EQU "" (Set Base=C:\Users\Eric\Desktop\1) ELSE (Set Base=%~1)
Set Tool="C:\Program Files\exiftool-8.09\exiftool(-k).exe"
Start "" /wait %Tool% -o dummy/ -d "%Base%\%%Y-%%m-%%d" 
"-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" "%Base%"
Exit
