There are lots of presets that actually look like photographs, and also you can find and download other presets that photographers have put together. I use Canon cameras and so am a bit restricted by the three shot limit of the auto exposure bracketing, but I recently bought the Promote Remote control which is a great tool for overcoming that limit and also giving you a very fancy timer and remote control as well. I did a review of this Promote remote with some examples of the resultant HDR images on my blog a week or so ago.
I'm definitely impressed with both the Promote and Nik HDR Efex - the images below are the normal and HDR version of an old gate.
