Pink fluorescence in film?

I took a shot with a Contaflex IV, and the pink in the picture seems to oddly glow. Do all photo films react this way?

Fluorescence! Did you examine the film under ultraviolet light? An example or two would be helpful.

Intriguing thread... I came to see the example... which inexplicably isn't here.

 

Also, it would be helpful if you mentioned the film type. It has a lot more influence than the camera.

 

Films such as Cinestill 800T (which is actually Kodak VISION3 500T with the remjet backing removed) do exhibit a glow (or, more correctly, halation) effect.

Here is the shot, but I don't recall the film. It probably was one of the Portras.

I don't see any odd glow.

Hmm. The pink is the only saturated color in the frame.

Could the leggings be of some high visibility pink, converting UV light into extra brightness and also have a shiny surface?

 

I wouldn't bash / judge the film without having reality to compare to.

Yes fluorescent dyes absorb UV (or shorter wavelength visible light)

and convert to visible light.

 

That is why they are so bright.

The yellow cones are pretty saturated too. I don't get what you see. It just looks like a reproduction of the "real" colours to me. Weren't the lady's leggings that colour in reality? Well, it's a pointless discussion really, because how are we to know or you to accurately remember. Did you take any other photos of the same scene with a different film/camera?

Well, films only record about half the total gamut of color vision.

 

Fluorescent dyes might be outside that range.

All I recall is seeing the color from a great distance and that the sky was overcast. Because this was Times Square, maybe the huge neon lights were a factor.

Some really bad bokeh in that shot.

I like this kind of pink.

I agree. Great glass otherwise.
