Now do with with both lenses you own.

Then start over but choose shutterspeed while focusing on a moving object (like a flower blowing in the wind) do the same thing take a picture at each shutter speed.

This is a great way to get to know your camera - and you will come to find your fav settings.

Have fun playing!
Great advice! It was a bit time consuming, but in the end worth the time and effort. Thanks!
