I was out today taking photos this morning and found a big beautiful Garden spider in the center of his web. Much to my dismay when I got home I could not get the web to show up well. I tried several things in PP but to no avail. I also found a second web with lots of dew drips on it but again with web is not very visible. Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated.

I have PSP and feel it meets all my needs and then some. I use it on a desktop so I have better processing speed then on a lap top. I like that it is a one time price with no subscription fees like Photoshop or Elements.
To reiterate what others have said welcome to UHH. I like you am new to the craft of photography and the more I think I know the more I realize I know very little and this is a life time of learning. As others have said photographing an eclipse can be very challenging for any one. As for your equipment, it an play a factor in your results but the individual behind the camera plays a bigger role in results and my best advice is read as much as you can to understand the craft. I would start with Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure, it is a great book the explains the concepts of photography in an easy to understand manner as well as other nuances of photography. I can not speak to the abilities of the Pantex but I won a P510 and learned a lot on it over the past 5 years before up grading to my first DSLR a couple on months ago. When it was released it was the highest point and shoot on the market it was as close as you could get to a DSLR style camera. It allows you to shoot in manual, shutter and aperture priority, and has features like HRD bracketing and much more. I learned a lot using it I would recommend rereading your owners manual and learn every thing your cameras can do. Attached is a digital copy of the P510 manual. Keep learning and shooting as I mentioned earlier learning photography is a long term process and even the best photographers in the world are learning new things. Hope this helped
