Or, just shoot manual.

Or that....
Like I said. I like using what the camera choses as a starting point and switching over to manual. Spot metering doesn't always get it right, but it does get you close most of the time. I don't like having to go through the AE lock process after every shot. Once you get the settings right in manual mode, you can shoot away knowing every shot is consistent and only concern yourself with composition. I like having a light meter even better for situations like this. It's basically a giant studio with fixed and controlled lighting.
