Just from memory as I'm here at work on my Windows machine it is

command-shift-4-spacebar
That gives you a camera to pick which window to take a pic of.

DUDE! this is my freakin' fav part of os x so far!! way more versatile than windows.
command + shift + 3 = screen shot of entire desktop; file goes to your desktop
command + shift + 4 = ss of what you select yourself; files goes to desktop
command + shift + 4 + spacebar = ss of whatever active screen you select; file goes to desktop
command + shift + ctrl +3 = ss of entire desktop; file goes to Clipboard only
command + shift + ctrl + 4 = ss of what you select yourself; file goes to Clipboard only
command + shift + ctrl + 4 + spacebar = ss of whatever active screen you select; file goes to Clipboard only
