why choose such a high ISO, you could easily have used 200 and still been fast enough. (~1/80)

You cut off his chin by shooting in landscape. Shoot portrait to get more subject less background.

I think this was one of my testing of the ISO, I had accidently deleted allllll the other pictures, but found this one. I was trying to show my mom the difference of the ISO's

good comments from trever, watch those highlights in the background they are distracting and blown out yo.

Can you explain to me what you mean by blown out and how I can avoid this next time I shoot in black and white

Use a flash yo.

Blown out means overexposed, to the point of not having any data in that area.

I was going to show a crop to try ro save this image, but "Your Photos Are NOT OK to Edit"

Word.

Using a flash will take your portraits to another level. You actually can expose your background correctly while your subject is already covered with the flash.

I do not have a flash right now. I'll remember this when I get one. The pop up flash on my camera does not work.

Thank you for respecting that.
