I've learned this hyper-realist painting @ school but I'm not a big fan of it... its not so difficult how you think!
You lucky! Here where I live, it never had anything like this.
Here we need to be autodidact and working hard (thousands of hours) to do good hyper-realistic stuff.
Like you, I think it is not so difficult, but most of people I met who tried a bit failed.
It is a lot harder than playing with Photoshop. You need to mix the colors by hand, to find the right viscosity,
and especially you need to develop a good dexterity.

and exactly for that purpose we have lots of cameras...
When I was a commercial hyper-realistic illustrator, I was always asked to produce images that a photographer can't do.
There was no Photoshop, 100% was airbrush and painting.
When I look at the examples at Tofu's link, I see painting, I can feel the brushes, I don't see pictures.
Those images are different and more aesthetic than simple pictures.

but to make a really good "not perfect" painting... this is art (hard)!
Both aren't easy, but yeah, I prefer something not perfect... and more creative.
Often, the hyper-realistic stuff aren't so creative.
