Single Light Source:
This photo is an example of a photo that has one light source; The sun. It naturally lights the photo, without the need of extra lights. Since the main light source is positioned behind the couple, it leaves only the silhouettes of the people jumping around in the water.
Multiple Light Source:
In the second example that I chose, the subject is caught mid-air doing the splits. The light reflecting off of her chest shows that there was a flash used. There is also still some lighting in the sky from the sun that is setting. Personally, I think the photo looks better with the flash because every detail is more defined. You can see the beads of sweat glistening all over her body that a photo with only the available light may have missed.
