That brushed metal finish on the lens housing looks great, how was it made?

This reminds me of a recent Wired article:
http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/07/ff_daguerrotype_panorama/ A very
interesting read: it really makes me wish I could get a hold of some hi-res
daguerreotype scans just to gaze at.
On a related note, It would be fun to travel to different cities and photograph
scenes with some hi-res camera like the new gigapixel cameras that are being
developed:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=gigapixel-camera-revealed In a
single snapshot images that would have taken minutes to photograph and piece
together can be made in a fraction of the time...
peer into the past with such detail? Resonance interpreters haven't been
developed yet...
