Long exposures with Kodachrome?

[gatewaycityca]

I'm new to this website. I just joined the forum a couple of days ago. And I just shot my first roll of Kodachrome. (Actually, it was the first slide I've ever used). The slides look awesome, and I can't wait to actually see them on a projector.

I had a question. Can you do long eposures with Kodachrome 64? There was one guy who posted a picture on Photo.net, of a lightning strike he had taken with slide film I think during the early 1980's. It was at night, and the exposure was really long, I think he said 4 minutes! I thought I read somewhere that Kodachrome doesn't work that well with long exposures and the color tends to shift. I like taking long exposures at night sometimes (mostly city street scenes, around 13 seconds or so). Would this work with Kodachrome, and would I need some kind of filter? I've done a lot of long exposures with color print film, but I've never used slide film until now.

I would really like to try more Kodachrome, especially for landscape photos. But I live in California, and the weather doesn't always cooperate. It's usually too hazy or too smoggy. (Mostly too smoggy). If I always waited until there was a clear blue sky, I would never be taking pictures. So I would like to have other options where I could take some interesting photos. Long exposures at night, indoors, etc.

Chris I have not personally done many really long exposures so I can't be of much help but I have many people taking long exposure with Kodachrome. I have seen many of them too.

This has been discussed on the Forum before. A recent thread on the topic is this one: http://www.kodachromeproject.com/for...read.php?t=276
