Create a file named ".nomedia" and put it into the directory, you would not like to show in your gallery. Folders containing this file are not indexed by the Gallery App.

If the directory is already indexed by the gallery (the images are shown in the gallery), probably, you have to force the gallery to reindex the files. You can do this for example by simply renaming the respective folder to another name in order to run the gallery again. Of course, after that, you can change the name of the folder to the origin name again.
