No adverse effects were reported. However all Manned Landings were on the lighted side of the moon, possibly for better radio and Tv contact reasons. Man has never (officially) landed on the dark side of the moon. There were suggestions this did happen with the tragic Apollo l8.

Are there any photos of the dark side of the moon?

"Dark side of the moon" isn't actually dark. The more accurate term is "far side of the moon". Both sides of the moon receive an equal amount of sunlight, per month. There are indeed a lot of photos taken of the far side. The first-ever photo of the far side of the moon was captured by the Luna 3 probe in 1959. All Apollo missions from Apollo 11 to 17 passed behind the moon, and they took photos of the far side. The attached photo is from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.


Why did Apollo capsules lose contact with Earth each time they traveled to the dark side of the moon?

Apollo capsules communicated via radio. Radio waves travel in a straight line unless they are recieved by an intermediary and retransmitted at the target. As there are no communications satelites orbiting the Moon, as the capsule passed out of sight, communication was lost.
