You can use the following code to automatically close comments in the Carousel view, based on the number of days you’ve defined in Settings > Discussion:

function jpcarousel_auto_close_comments( $open, $post_id ) {
	$post = get_post( $post_id );

	$days_old = (int) get_option( 'close_comments_days_old' );

	if ( ! $days_old )
		return $open;

	if( $post->post_type == 'attachment' && time() - strtotime( $post->post_date_gmt ) > ( $days_old * DAY_IN_SECONDS ) ) {
		return false;
	}
	return $open;
}
add_filter( 'comments_open', 'jpcarousel_auto_close_comments', 10 , 2 );
