Is there a minimum distance you should be to take a picture when using the flash with the Raynox 6600 wide angle converter?

If I move in close to my subject (a person) I believe I get a shadow on the lower part of the picture from the lens converter when I have the flash shooting straight on.

Of course I adjust by moving back. Is this normal?

No problem, bounce the flash off the ceiling.

Your images will look better that way, too.

Best regards,
Andy


some cameras, some lenses,
and still a lot of things to learn...
(so post processing examples on my images are welcome :D)
