Cmd+Shift+3.

edit: An easier way of finding stuff out is to go to system prefs/keyboard and mouse/keyboard shortcuts.

spotlight: grab
The app you find of that name will also take pics (in many different ways)
really, this kinda stuff is in finder>help>mac help
It is also in many on-line resources, including apple.
There is also a widget here that has a lot of cool features, and is free.
Really, this stuff is basic! Try help next time first! :)

apple-shift-3 goes to desktop as far as i know, else search in spotlight for images, and sort by date (type in "find:images", press enter and sort by date.
Jeez man, use the help! Look on the apple site!
