An investigation on fast shutter speed and the positioning of light to photograph water in mid flight

To photograph water in mid-flight is somewhat tricky as the wireless flash has to be positioned in such a way that the light shines directly through the drops of water
but at an angle to capture shadows within the water so that it is highlighted. To photograph in this style, the aperture has to be extremely small in order to capture the ammount of detail and the shutter speed must also be very high - at 250 - whilst using the highest increment of intensity for flash to photograph with these settings

In this photograph I have tried to use this method. Settings 250 shutter speed - F22 - light source at 180from the camera - 1 over 1
