Yeah, I know you're supposed to color correct the lights with gels but it's rarely ever that I'm shooting under mixed light and when I am, I just dial it down and overpower it with the strobes. And if worst comes to worst, I go grayscale.
I've posted
this before but it's one of my better attempts at going strobist. Snooted sb-600 fired above the camera in CLS. Fully manual settings that totally escape my memory.
Oh, and I believe Jehu's shot in the graffiti thread is an example of gels used for creative purposes rather than color correction.
