The effect is called "piping." It is the result of the high intensity light which strikes highlight areas of the film bouncing back and forth off the front and back surfaces of the film (i.e., within the thickness of the film) in a kind of lateral zig-zag motion to adjacent areas of the film. to minimize it, take care not to overexpose. njb
