Effects of time on the gamma
As the time to expiration draws nearer, the gamma of at-the-money options increases while the gamma of in-the-money and out-of-the-money options decreases.
The chart above depicts the behaviour of the gamma of options at various strikes expiring in 3 months, 6 months and 9 months when the stock is currently trading at $50.
