Slow shutter at Sells Mill Park dam

We recently took a trip to Sells Mill Park, located in Hoschton Georgia. This park has an old mill, pavilion, play area and the old dam spillway. There is also a large granite outcropping that was pretty interesting to explore.

We arrived around 4 pm, which is a decent time for mid-April in this location. If you arrive later the treeline might block some of the sunset for you as this spot is in a small valley. I like to use Google Earth as well when trying to decide on a good time of day. You can check available light a position with this application, which is a real time-saver.
One of the most interesting shots here is the old dam which allows water to spill over creating a nice opportunity for some long exposure photography. And right now is a great time with all of the rain we’ve gotten lately.
To find out more about the park you can check out the Jackson County parks page. Also, if you want some quick directions I’ve provided you a quick Google Map below. Have fun!
