If someone has some photos imported into Photos on a Mac, what's the
simplest way to send a few of them to somebody else? I think you can select them and Share... but not sure what the best route is from there. Email is the obvious, but there are size limits which makes it quite limitng. Is there any kind of plugin for Photos that will upload them somewhere and
allow somebody else to view them?
The photos don't want to be public, so we aren't talking Instagram etc. iCloud might be an option, although iCloud sync would be far too much (too many existing photos and not enough internet bandwidth) - can you
use it without sync?

Any suggestions for other services?

If you select a too-large bundle of items from Photos and Share as...
email, Mail will offer to send them "using Mail Drop" which actually
uploads them to iCloud and puts a link in the email. Give that a test
run.

(On the 'too many photos', you can easily set up albums to share within
Photos).
At 500kbps upload speed I think any cloud sync is going to take a very very long time...

Good grief. I didn't know that that was still a thing.

I did a line test... it's max 1.28Mbps upload speed. Better, but that's only
about 13GB per day.
Faster products are available, but why pay for more than classic ADSL if you don't need it? VDSL would only get about 6Mbps upload anyway.

Only if you sync all photos. Sharing (in Photos) just the ones you want to share will take the same length of time as sending the same selection by email. Either way, the photos have to be uploaded by your machine at some point.
Well, could be worse ;-). I think mine's about 6Mbps. I'd still think about the iCloud route if I were you. Depending on your library size - it might mean
paying though if you go above the 50GB 'free' limit. IME it's fairly seemless,
and my library (120GB) rebuilt over what seemed like weeks quite seamlessly.
