Hi there— I am a newbie to the DSLR world and recently purchased a Canon T3 to get started. It came with a 18-55mm Canon lens… works great for general pictures, but I really want to get into portrait photography— my goal is to shoot some engagement photos for friends, more photos of the family, etc.
I want a lens that is capable of a large aperture to provide blurry backgrounds. My current lens can only go as low as 5.6.
Which lens would be the logical next purchase for me?
Canon 50mm f/1.8 Autofocus Lens

OR
Canon Telephoto 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Autofocus Lens
I’m tempted to do the 50mm because it has such a wide aperture (f1.8) but I know telephoto lenses can also provide the same effect even with a higher f-stop.
HELP! And thank you. 🙂
