Multiplay i46 is simply massive – check the latest pics

As the final stragglers made their way to the huge campsite, pitched their tents and lugged their weapons of destruction to the multiple halls of the Telford International Centre, KitGuru took a step back to consider the scale of this event in 2012. We must confess, we were simply not equipped to shoot the halls in all their glory. Read on for the gory details of our optical failings.

For many moons, the world plus dog was happy with a 50mm lens. Then the optics went a little nuts. Paparazzi across the planet demand more and more telephoto, while naturists [Naturalists? – Ed] demand powerful macro zoom lenses, so they can shoot smaller and smaller objects. Then, in the middle, you have the wedding/school photographers with their un-naturally wide lenses.

This what we should have brought to Multiplay i46, not a 24mm lens.

It was just not wide enough. Not by a mile.

Here are some amazing shots that show the scale of Mutiplay's hugely successful i46 event. Where necessary, we have had to PhotoChop several shots together – or it would not have been possible to bring you the full enormity of what we witnessed.

So, there you have it.  Having taken over several rugby pitches for their campsite, Multiplay has squeezed thousands of hard core gamers, overclockers and enthusiasts into Telford's International Centre for many days – with the promise of fun, friendship and around $30,000 in prize money. Without doubt, this is the best Insomnia event ever. Which was nice.
