I have seen these stairs in the Vatican museum photographed many times. The trick is to get there when the place is not covered up with other tourists. I was fortunate to be on a private afterhours Tauck tour so there were only a few of us there and when we got to the stairs I was at the head of the small group.
For a few seconds only I had the stairs completely to myself. No one was on the stairs but 40 people were lining up to go down. I leaned out and with my camera set at wide open I hand held four shots before I started to get tourists. I thought this was the best. I had to use an ISO of 1600 but it turned out ok and the lighting was amazing.
How lucky can you get!

The Helical Staircase can be found within the Tower of the "Lighthouse Centre" in Mitchell Lane Glasgow. The Tower was designed by Rennie Mackintosh and used to hold some 8000 Gallons of water for fire protecttion. Climbing the staircase takes you to the viewing platform where excellent panaramas of the City can be had. Well worth the visit.!!
