DOH!

The paragraph in my last post that beging with:

> To make the selection

Should end with:

Use the Lasso tool (clicking only, no dragging) guided by the guide
lines on the canvas the line you drew and rotated to make your
selection.  Then discard your white scratch layer and proceed as above.

Tha'll learn me to proofread better.

Actually, a slightly updated version can also be found here:

https://pixls.us/articles/hdr-photography-with-free-software-luminancehdr/

In short: LuminanceHDR to align, create the HDR, and tonemap down to LDR.

What I have done in similar cases:  First I open the source image in the
GIMP.  Then I select the area I want to duplicate, invert the selection
(Select > Invert), and delete everything but the part I want to work
with.  Then I copy the layer, and rotate the copy.  Then I select the
original layer, copy the first layer again, move the new copy to the top
of the layer stack, and rotate the new copy.  I repeat this until I have
completed the circle I am making from copies.

Using only copies of the original layer prevents repeated copy > rotate
from adding noise (transform errors) that would accumulate if copies of
rotated copies etc. were used.

I seem to remember a GIMP script for this, but I can't find the one I am
looking for just now.  However, this should automate everything except
making the initial selection:

http://registry.gimp.org/node/15534

Other things that might be useful in this context:

*  To make the selection, place a vertical line down the center of the
canvas (Image > Guides > New Guide (by percent).  Make a new layer, fill
it with white, and draw a black line right down the center using the
guide.  Then do Layer > Transform > Rotate and rotate the layer as many
degrees as you need for your wedge (360/n.).  Assuming you want to
rotate your mandala parts around the center of the image, add a
horizontal guide centered on the canvas, then use the "lasso" tool to
make your selection as indicated by the guide lines and the line on your
rotated white layer.

*  Instead of deleting the unwanted parts of the source image, do the
selection on your source image, invert it, add a layer mask and fill the
selected area (of the mask) with black.  Proceed as above with the copy
and rotate process.  Advantage:  You can adjust the edges where the
visible parts of the layers meet, by painting on the layer masks with
black to remove visible pixels from the final image, or with white to
restore "deleted" pixels to visibility.  This will however give you a
much larger XCF file.

*  Place a vertical guide down the center of the canvas and free rotate,
move etc. your source image layer until that guide line is right where
you want one of the edges of your pattern's wedges to be.  Select and
add a mask as above.  Then, duplicate the layer and do Layer > Transform
> Flip horizontally.  This will give you a wedge where the edges along
the vertical guide match perfectly.  Merge the 2nd layer down into the
first, duplicate and rotate until your circle is filled.

I had written about this using LuminanceHDR a few years ago. The workflow
hasn't changed:

[Gimp-user] HDR image generation

[Helmut Jarausch]

Would someone please be so kind to share his/her favourite work flow to  
generate an HDR image out of a sequence of 3 or 5 images

taken with exposure bracketing.
It should be possible to align/register the images since I want to  
apply it to images taken without a tripod - my camera

takes only about 0.3 seconds for 5 shots.

I'd like to use open source software on Linux only.
I have installed  Gimp (GIT), G'MIC(GIT), hugin and enfuse/enblend.

Many thanks for sharing your setup,
Helmut
