🎞 What Is the Halation Effect?

Halation happens when bright light bounces off the base of a film negative, creating a subtle halo around high-contrast areas — especially skin tones and highlights.

It’s one of the most beautiful “flaws” in film photography, adding warmth, depth, and character to otherwise clean digital images.
