Photos of chickens, taken by chickens

A good general principle in almost any photography is that if you want pictures that are different from everyone else's, just get down a bit. Most people take shots at their eye level and don't even think to try a different angle

Unusual points of view.

High, low, inside a pipe, from a tree, under water, where people don't usually go / aren't allowed / can't access, etc.

Keep in mind that the unusual can become commonplace if overused. Selfie sticks were initially a novel PoV. They became cliche in about a week.

If your pictures aren't interesting enough, you're not close enough

Or up. The way I think of it is people looking at your photo shouldn’t know how tall you are.
