Or forget HDR (you may not even have Photoshop or other HDR program) and just blend the images together......check out the Tutorial here.

I've been a fan of Graduated ND filters for some years, but I'm slowly coming around to the 'blending in layers' method as a better alternative. Grad NDs can have problems with irregular horizons or parts of a scene where a simple 'half and half' filter doesn't do the business.
