I think it's not a very good idea to group photo title/caption into a single "section" with various camera metadata and all that stuff. I really don't see any reason for that. Ideally, I want the title and caption to always be displayed, because that's what they're for, while the camera metadata should by default be disabled, because that's really not something a person viewing the photo should generally be interested in (but the viewer should obviously still be able to view these if interested in it).

Turning these into all or nothing doesn't really make any sense to me. Especially given that the camera metadata takes a lot of space.

My ideal configuration would be title, caption and possibly keywords (I personally don't think keywords are something that has to be shown to the visitor, but I understand some people want them to be seen for easier navigation) shown by default under the photo (with an option to turn them off or make them only appear on mouseover or something like that), and camera metadata shown separately in a sidebar or overlay box by clicking a button if the viewer wants to see that. That's a layout that makes the most sense to me for a photo gallery.

Agreed. I am no pro user, but when I share my galleries with family, etc, the persistent captions below the picture is very important.
