I know it might look like I'm only building front wheels, but my partner's rear wheel is already done, so we're keeping pace—building them evenly on both ends.
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1.
Both are Leaf hubs with outpoke lacing, but
this one uses DT Competition spokes,
(Oops, the focus landed on the far flange...)
and this one uses CX-RAY.

"First to comment! I've noticed your photos often have a shallow depth of field. Are you using a bright lens? Or is it just chance?"
First, about being first to comment—winning the first comment race is unofficial at our shop (laugh). So there's no official recognition or prizes. Still, only the winner (but what are we even winning?) seems drawn to that untouched summit view, so this futile race will probably continue today and tomorrow too.
As for the photos having shallow depth of field, I'm completely outside my wheelhouse when it comes to photography, so that stuff happens to me all the time. The truth is I do shoot multiple images and pick the best one—or at least the least blurry one—but there are plenty of shots I've only taken once that came out blurry. Also, for several days I was wondering why all my photos looked like they had a thin haze over them... turns out the lens was just dirty and clouded up. So to answer your question: "It's just chance."
