In that case it depends on how you currently sync photos. If you sync from your iPhoto library you can create an album of only the pics you want. Then with the iPad connected select it from the iTunes sidebar and click on the Photos tab. Select the second option, "Selected albums ...." The album list will appear. Locate the album you just made and check it.

If you are synching from a folder of pictures, then make a new folder that only contains the pics you want synced. Then choose that folder in iTunes-Photos as the folder to sync.

For both devices - plug them into the computer.

You will see them listed in Device under the Store Tab on the left in iTunes

Across the top you will see various tabs under the display in iTunes.

There is Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcast, ITunes U, Books and Photos (for iPad, similar for iPod)

Check Synch Photos from iPhoto in Photos Tab and the radio button for selected Albums and Events

Check the Albums and/or Events you want

The press Synch on the lower right.

From the users manual: Deleting Videos from iPad
To save space you can delete videos from iPad.
Delete a video: In the videos list, tap and hold a movie until the delete button appears, then tap . Tap Cancel or Home when you finish deleting videos.
When you delete a video (other than rented movies) from iPad, it isn’t deleted from your iTunes library on your computer, and you can sync the video back to iPad later. If you don’t want to sync the video back to iPad, set iTunes to not sync the video. See “Syncing” on page 28.
Important: If you delete a rented movie from iPad, it’s deleted permanently and can’t be transferred back to your computer.
