I would like to post a quite high quality photo to a newsgroup that does not
accept photos to be posted there. Apparently there is a means of making it
accessible indirectlyl that is by posting it to somewhere on the net and
then people can use a link to view it there.
Would someone please be able to recommend an easy to use site, that allows
this please? thanks

Do you have any personal Webspace? Most ISPs (I think) give you a bit for
free.

You don't have to use a web page editor or do anything in the way
of "setup" to just make a single photo available. All you have
to do is enable your web page, and from then on if you just copy
a photo to the web page it will be available. But it will only
be available so someone who knows it is there can has the exact
URL, including the path to that file.
My web page is actually at "web.newsguy.com/floyd_davidson/". If
I use ftp to access my web page through the newsguy.com servers,
I can see a directory named "~/public_html". Anything that is
in that directory is available to the public as part of my
web page. But to access anything, other than the default file
index.html, anyone looking at my web page has to know exactly
how to spell the path to a given file. The default, if none is
given, is the index.html file. By editing that file, I provide
a menu for whatever I want random viewers to be able to access
on my web page.
But with or without the default index.html file, I can put
image files there, and give people the exact file name, and
they can access that one image only... without any menu or
web page editor, etc.
Hence on my web page, either of these URLs will get a menu:
But if you look at this URL, it will bypass the menu (which
doesn't even need to be there to see this), and show you an
image that cannot be accessed via the menu.
If you don't know that file exists, there is no access to it.
So I can put that (or any other JPEG file) in that directory,
post a reference to in on Usenet, and readers can then see it...
until I remove it.
But that causes another problem. The article which gives a URL
for it will be archived, and it might be *years* later that
someone is reading it and wants to see your image. If you
remove it from the web page, the archived article is less useful.
Hence, if the archived article has value that is tied to the
image, referencing a temporary file on a web page is not good.
Perhaps a better (??) idea would be to post the image to some
suitable binary newsgroup on Usenet, and list the Message-ID in
your text article that references it. Then the problem for
anyone reading it 5 years later is finding an archive for the
binary group. (I don't actually know if anyone is archiving
binary groups, so you'll certainly want to look into that before
trying it.)

Your web page is almost certainly the best way to do that. As
per the description above, you do not need a fancy menu or
web page to have that functionality available. Just copy the
image to your web page, and give the URL, complete with the
filename, to anyone you want to access it.
The only trick then is that the file must be smaller than the
maximum space your web page is allocated.

How big is "largish"? If you have anything faster than dial-up access to the
Internet, receiving a 10MB email attachment shouldn't be a problem. (Check
with your ISP first, of course.) That's about the size of a RAW mode image on
my 10MP Canon, so I'd guess that it's large enough for your purpose.
