Halation 1
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
In this example I processed the colour RAW, adjusted the halation colour from the conventional red to blue, exported and converted to B&W in Silver Efex 9 boosting the blue channel
