First of all, you need to install the "Exposure Blend" Plugin from JD Smith.

1. Download the Plugin from the Website of the developer.
2. You will have to copy the file in the folder "C://Users/*USERNAME*/.gimp-2.8/scripts".
3. Click in Gimp click "filters" -> "script-Fu" -> "scripts refresh". Under "Filter" you should find the new menu item "Exposure Blend".

HDR Plugin use

1. Without the image in Gimp open, click on "filters" -> "Exposure Blend" -> "Blend...".
2. Under "Normal Exposure" to select the image with normal exposure time.
3. Under "Short" and "Long Exposure", select the short and the long exposure image.
4. You like the values, click "OK" and the Plugin will automatically create a HDR image from the three individual images.
