Hmmmm. I don't get it. Are you using a speedlight?? In either case? Let me look at the examples . . . this was your strength (Ok, One of them).

Hi Doyle! This is the same shot as the one uploaded on the main page. It was taken using a 500 W halogen lamp. I have tried using the built in flash but as far as I can see it cannot be forced to fire above 1/500. An external speeedlight can be fooled into firing (as described under the main image), but I do not have one so have not tried this solution.
I've just had a quick check outside and it seems as though bright sunlight may be a solution (as long as there is no wind - so that rules out 360 days of the year...)

I found it too hard to use a macro lens - the depth of field just wasn't enough. I had more luck with a 50mm prime!

In the first exmpl., I don't like the shadow, Perhaps bouncing a speedlight or off camera strobe would help that. They both seem grainy, but you data says ISO100, Are you cropping in or perhaps too much adjusting in software.
I also thought I saw a very fast shutter speed on one of the Exmpls. Makes me wonder if you flash had even fired before the shutter had open and closed. You should be able to catch these drops @ 1/100th and a flash with good results.

AJ, you need powerful external flash with SHORT FLASH duration. You will get excellent images with 1/60 sec, 1/125 exposures.
