    This article gives some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage.  One thing you can do is import your camera roll photos to your computer and delete them from your phone as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can then put the photos in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  They will then not be in your camera roll and will not be included in your backup (since they are already backed up on your computer).
