To add a can to the can museum, you must be a member and have as much information about a can as possible including photos of the can. Photos must be in .jpg format and all submitted cans won't be posted to the museum until approved by a can museum admin.

We want the best can photos we can get in the can museum. Cans are not easy to photograph. They are different sizes and the part of the cans we are taking photos of are rounded. This makes it difficult to get rid of any glare from your light sources. Allcans and xxxxxCanManxxxxx recommend purchasing a portable photo studio for the best photo results. xxxxxCanManxxxxx purchased this Portable Photo Studio ($49.99 USD).

Once you have your set-up, take your photos head-on, so as to not get the top of the can. In order to be consistent with the rest of the cans, you will need to crop the can from the background. When the cropping is done, the top and bottom of the can should look like straight lines and you should not see the top of the can. Make sure you save them in .jpg format. Also, take photos all "sides" of the can. The front of the can should be the unique design, and the other "sides" will be anything else that is different. Typically you should take 2 or 3 photos per can.
