What do you do when you wanna take a shot on slide film and you know the dynamic range of the scene is to damn high? (Except not taking it)

I shot a couple (I think 3 or 4) rolls of slide film last year and the results have been mid at best. I'd say I am an experienced shooter by now and I know how to meter, yet many of the images I take are like 85% black and white. (I kinda have the same problem with Polaroids on my i2)

I guess my prefered motifs don't fit to slide film?
