<p>So, how do you get images to look so uniform? These images are a large set and look perfect together. So, I'm wondering how you manage to keep the color consistent between scenes and photos?<br>

<br />Example:<br>

<p>I guess that's an incentive to move up to some real strobes. <br>

<br />Using a softbox AND gels sound like they will kill all of the power in a speedlite :(</p>

<p>Man, I just over expose 1 stop ALL DAY when using my AE-1 in the city, ends up pretty reliable since there are so many shadows trying to pull the exposure down.</p>

<p>The downside to centerweighted is you have to calculate focus and exposure on the center, before you recompose the shot</p>

<p>The RZ's are BEASTS<br>

<br />To be honest it is hard to find one that DOESN'T work correctly. Overall, the best bet is to get a firstgen RZ if you want the best bang for your buck.</p>

<p>The fastest way to shoot is to use a DSLR to meter everything as well. I used to shoot polaroids, but why rely on extremely archaic metering technology?</p>

<p>Ok, I'm pushing the budget, but I would just go for this:<br>

<p>Just add a simple ball head and you are good to go. It really helps you get really low to the ground as well and is amazingly stable. Buy once, spend less!</p>
