I will be going to Cuba in a few days and I have purchased some filters and want to take a crack at getting some awesome landscape shots, from what I imagine mostly of the beach.

Now, I know white balance can be adjusted in many ways, but what is the best method, when there are about 2-3 filters in front of the lens.

Grey card, in camera AWB and adjust later in post? What do you guys suggest is the best route to take?

I dont usually adjust my WB much in camera for shooting landscapes - when Im shooting inside with funny lights and/or a flash, sure - but not for landscapes. Maybe its a bad habit, but since Im always shooting landscapes in RAW, its just easier to adjust in post.

The pre-sets in the camera dont give the flexibility I want and setting a custom white balance wastes time I could be shooting when the light is changing quickly (as it tends to do at the best times for landscape shooting). I say just shoot in RAW, set to AWB to get close in camera and adjust in post.
