If you can do multiple shots with different exposures (one after the other), you are HDR-capable. Software does the merging. Though some cameras do have automation support for that. The trees in the demo image look blurred because the branches moved between shots.

Ubuntu/Debian users, put this in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts to have it accessible from your right-click menu:

  #!/bin/bash
  align_image_stack -a BATCH -C $(echo -n "$@") && enfuse -o ~/Desktop/align-and-fuse-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T').tif BATCH*.tif && rm BATCH*.tif
Prerequisites are align_image_stack and enfuse packages (Hugin users already have them or do it manually) and after that, just shoot bracketed and multi-select each set of bracketed photos > right-click > Scripts > run script. A timestamped finished image in TIFF format will output to your desktop. I usually open these in Darktable for minor post processing, then final export to JPEG.
