how do you take a picture on black white film where there is like a white glow halo around objects and stuff on the foreground?

infrared film, dipshits. The lack of an anti-halation layer gives it that glow.

thanks, that sounds more plausible.
so just ir film + ir filter, or are there any magical settings or scenes that need to be reproduced before this happens?

You don't need an IR filter. If you use no filter, it will look more like normal black and white film but with halos. A good compromise that gives darker skies but still lets you see through the viewfinder and focus is a red 25 or red 29 filter.

There aren't many IR films on the market anymore, but a couple of them have antihalation layers so you need to pick the right one. Kodak High Speed Infrared (HIE) and Macophot are the only two that I know of that have no antihalation layer.

Situations in which you have a bright or light colored subject against a darker background will produce the effect more visibly. The stronger the contrast between the subject and the background, the brighter the halo.

Bracket your exposures widely, metering for IR film is a challenge. I usually rate HIE at ISO 400.

Efke, Maco, Ilford and Rollei make infrared films as well. Not cheap.

Google for it. Most manufacturers have datasheets on their products. Some sites, (the better ones), that sell the film have links to them.

Here's a page with some IR film comparisons: http://www.digitaltruth.com/store/product_tests/infrared_film_004.php

It looks like HIE, Efke, and maybe Konica have no anti-halation layers while Ilford and Rollei have them. If memory serves, the Rollei IR film is just repackaged Maco.
