A subtle halo forms around bright light sources — neon signs, lamps, headlights, the sun — and glows most where highlights meet dark areas of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's one of the most beautiful \"flaws\" in film photography, adding warmth, depth, and character to otherwise clean digital images.
