Halation 2

Halation is the distinct, organic glow characteristic of classic analogue film stocks, where bright highlights bleed softly into surrounding darker areas.

 

As I understand it, this effect occurs when bright light reflects off the film backing, causing highlights to bleed softly into adjacent darker areas creating a halo effect - a glow.

 

I used Color Efex 9: halation
