@Kriss: There is no way I can click the Moon with my paltry reach (18-55mm lens). I generally click Moon with my digital camera (the S3 IS) which has a massive 12x optical zoom lens..
Perhaps after I get a telephoto lens, I can try and shoot the Moon with the 400D. As of now, it's useless really to try and shoot it with 55mm and then do a massive crop and lose out on quality. Instead, I just pick up the S3, zoom in, and click away!

An important point to keep in mind while shooting the Moon is don't use any auto-exposure modes (program, aperture, or shutter priority) — switch to full manual instead. Because if you do use the auto-exposure modes, then the light meter of the camera will average the exposure over the night sky and the bright Moon in the center. This will result in a hopelessly overexposed frame.Originally posted by kriss View PostI have 18-200.. But still i'm not getting it man. Wat to do.. Tried with all settings. will try again today
Try keeping the aperture to somewhere around the f16 mark and the shutter to 1/100th or 1/125th of a second or thereabouts while keeping the ISO to 100. Please note, this is not a sure-shot method of getting good exposure. You would need to try different settings for the same.
Nevertheless, after you do click some pictures of the Moon, post them here. That would really be helpful.

Over exposure is generally the cause of "only-lighted-circle" kind of moon shots. Use the settings that Aryan mentioned. Also, I use a tripod since the slighest shake at such a zoom can make the moon go bonkers thru viewfinder. Just start by underexposing the moon and then adjust the exposure so as to get the perfect brightness-contrast output.Originally posted by kriss View PostI have 18-200..

Though these pictures are no great shakes, but are enough examples of how "real" macro (1:1) looks! *hint hint*
A 1 rupee coin: that depth of field is real shallow even at an aperture of f8! Even a fraction movement can make the image useless, throwing it totally out of focus.
My wristwatch.. 
P.S: These pictures depict JUST how hard real macro photography can be, and it IS tough work, believe me! Although the learning curve is huge, but I am game for it!

@chilled: Simply put, real macro photography means that the image projected on the digital sensor(in the case of digital SLRs) is of same size as the subject being photographed. There are specialized lenses for these purposes known as macro lenses. These macro lenses shoot pictures upto a magnification of 1:1, meaning the image on the digital sensor is the same size as the object being photographed.
P.S: There is always the Canon's specialized macro lens, the MP-E 65mm which can ONLY be used for macro photography unlike most of the other macro lenses which can be used for general photography as well. The MP-E starts where other macro lenses ends - i.e. it starts at 1x and goes 5 times the life-size, meaning 5x, which is absolutely phenomenal, according to me!
I hope it clears up your doubts somewhat.
As for your latter query as to how to color accent an image, there are various softwares like Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. which can be used. Which software have you used for the above images?

Does the 400D have spot metering. I doubt it. If it has try it and meter only the moon in Mode A or S Shutter mode and do not forget to use a tripod. The rest is just trial and error, if the moon appears brighter (over exposed), increase the shutter speed a little or reduce the EV value by a stop and try again, repeat the procedure till u get a perfect exposure.Originally posted by kriss View Post
But do not forget, a tripod is a must and never shoot on a Windy day.
