So would a longer mm lens be better to use with a wider aperture to give the shot a more blurred background?

Most digital SLR kit lenses have a maximum aperture in the f3.5 to f5.6 range depending on which end of the zoom range you are using. A 55mm lens at f5.6 will not give you a particularly shallow depth of field. To achieve this, you need either a longer lens such as 200mm or longer, or a wider aperture. Quite a few people like to use a fixed 50mm or 55mm lens with an aperture of f1.8 or f1.4 as their standard lens which gives greater opportunity to blur the background.Richard Brown.

I have a lens of 18-55mm and I was trying to take a picture with blur background. Could you give me some tips or do I need to buy a new lens that I can get as low as f2.8. thanks

personaly I have never liked the way photographers blur the background to make the subject stand out more. Looks too unatural and kind of makes me feel dizzy looking at it!
