If your screen really ready then Press Command + Shift + 3.
The screenshot will be saved on your desktop as a file PNG extension.

The moment you click and hold the three mac keyboard shortcuts, a screenshot will be taken of the whole screen at that very moment, which will be saved as a file called PNG extension. If you are using two or more displays, full screenshots will be made for both monitors.
