Lots of other stuff there.
If you leave the thing in i-TTL and use some bounce flash, you'll get automagically great photos most of the time. You can also mess around with a business card and/or cheap diffuser to control the light to your liking. Plenty of cheap/free ways to get the effect you need. The business card goes down the slot at the top of the flash lens, for example.
I don't have the D50 so I'm guessing a little, but I think you'll get i-TTL balanced fill flash with the SB-800 and CPU lenses as long as you use matrix and center-weighted metering, otherwise standard i-TTL with non-CPU lenses and in other metering modes.
