You don't think about the subject, or it's relation to the world around it—you just make a document of it. It's what old folks do when they go to take a picture.
Look, you have plenty of decent subjects, but you just need to start working on your composition. Where do these chickens live? What does a day in their life look like? What about the world from their point of view? Can you take a photo that a chicken would take? I don't mean to be vague but these are just prompts that can help you dispell where you are now and allow you to grow as a photographer.
Can you show me a photo of what it's like to be a chicken? Do you have it in you?
>>3650678If you're doing a technical photography subject like macro (or Astro, landscape, etc) then you're right. You don't have enough gear for it. But I guarantee you it's not the camera holding you back—good macro photography requires luck, patience, vision, and a shitload of prep work. Invest in some lights, a good tripod, and maybe a spray bottle for dew on your shots. Buy those before you upgrade your camera. Look for more interesting subjects. Flowers and insects have been done to death. Show me something more than just seeds and grass. Nothing is stopping you from arranging nature by your own hand. Pick a single dandelion seed and glue it to a blade of grass. Blast light on it from behind. Take the photo and see what happens. You're allowed to change the world around you—you don't need to be a passive observer.
