Fast Shutter Speed
A photo with a fast shutter speed is almost always used to capture a still moment out of some sort of action. The fast shutter speed exposes the film to light very quickly, therefore only the action taking place at the very split second is captured.
Slow Shutter Speed
A slow shutter speed is used to capture action that is happening over a period of time. Using a slow shutter speed will expose the film to a lot of light, therefore blurring the action that is happening for a period of time.
