What is halation?

Halation is a by-product that comes from shooting on film, when bright parts of an image gain a red glow or ‘halo’. Film strips are made of different emulsion layers which capture light within the blue, green, and red channels; alongside an anti-halation backing layer that absorbs excess light. With particularly bright images, light can often refract off the anti-halation backing and back into the red channel, which causes halation to occur. This is most commonly seen on bright light sources, such as lamps, car headlights, and neon signs.
