He didn't use a ND filter at all. The image hasn't been developed.
No lets see if I can explain this in a logical manner.
Normal prints are exposed and then developed to bring the latent image through in a chemical reaction. With enough time and with intense light, an image will form on photographic paper, just like printing out paper.
What the photographer has done here, is left his camera outside from winter solstice to summer solstice, and through the 6 months, there has been enough light gather to bring an image through. After the 6 months had passed, the photographer then simply scanned the image that was on the paper.
