My favorite technique with the 'blad hand held
was the pre trip that Mark referred to.
The subject thought you made the shot
when the mirror and light trap tripped
they relaxed
I then fired the quiet between the lens shutter
very effective for self conscious people photography.

Other than that technique for people
I also find the 'blad requires a tripod (and pre trip)
or
nice studio strobe lighting.
